Good international citizenship: a third way for British foreign policy

Article Abstract:

The UK's Labour government has introduced an ethical dimension into foreign policy, with particular emphasis being placed on human rights diplomacy.

It can be argued that efforts to put human rights at the centre of foreign policy have led to inconsistency in the application of the policy.
