INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS:
The League seeks to promote peace in an interdependent world, working cooperatively with other nations and international bodies. We have Positions concerning trade, developing countries, arms control, military policy and the United Nations.
The Human Rights Team is pleased to announce the launch of the Briefing Book on Human Rights, First Edition 2019-2020.

We encourage you to follow the hyperlink, read the Briefing Book and share your thoughts about its usefulness to your League work. Your comments will be woven into the Team's plans for the second edition.
