Post-conflict reconstruction in Yemen by Chatham House

Speaking at Chatham House, the Shadow Foreign Secretary outlines six reasons why he opposes calls from others in the Labour party to dismantle Britain's nuclear deterrent.

Nobin Niblett argues that Prime Minister's offices and National Security Councils don't have time to think strategically. The Foreign Office is the repository for strategic thinking, but budget cuts have left it 'close to the bone'.

Robin Niblett discusses the difficulty of balancing national interest with human rights concerns, arguing that a Chinese state visit to the UK is arguably not the time for the UK to raise its objections, but that the Chancellor's trip to Xinjiang could have sent a stronger message about British human rights values.

The North Korean Ambassador to the UK tells an audience at Chatham House that it will launch a rocket this weekend, regardless of the threat of further sanctions. "We have nothing to be afraid of. We will go ahead, definitely. This (sanctions threat) is another provocation, which will make things worse."

Italian Foreign Minister, Paolo Gentiloni, argues that if Europe does not change the Dublin rules, which demand that asylum seekers be processed in the country of arrival, it will have to change the Schengen rules, which allow free movement between EU states.

Speaking at Chatham House, Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni argues that northern European states need to take equal responsibility for refugees arriving from the Mediterranean. "What will Poland do if it faces a refugee crisis from Ukraine? Call Greece for help?"
