Introduction:

The Britain in the World policy commission deals with issues relating to foreign policy, defence and international development. The commission is responsible for engaging with the party on these policy issues, looking at how we address future challenges in these areas and building a dialogue with party stakeholders.

The work of the commission has focused on a range of issues including: how Labour can take forward its efforts to tackle global poverty and promote social justice, how we can work for peace and security in an increasingly uncertain world and how we can engage with and promote reform in Europe.
