Foreign Relations
From The Common People
(Return to the manifesto)
- The Common People will immediately order a fast-track inquiry into government interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states, particularly:
- The overthrow of the legitimate government of Iran in 1953 - "The US formally admitted its role 10 years ago with the declassification of a large volume of intelligence documents, which made clear that the ousting of the elected prime minister, Mohammad Mosadegh, 70 years ago this week was a joint CIA-MI6 endeavour. The formal UK government position is to refuse to comment on an intelligence matter." (Guardian, 15 August 2023). This refusal is an unethical abdication of responsibility .
