Kate Allen, the UK Director of Amnesty International, was kind enough to sit down with Labourhome for a few minutes and offer some insight into how the Deputy Leadership hopefuls performed. She also offered her thoughts on the direction of foreign policy under a Gordon Brown administration, what the Labour party needs to work on, and how non-governmental organisations (like Amnesty) are also playing strategic roles as early-warning indicators in trying to highlight flare-ups around the world.
The event was hosted by Amnesty International UK, Human Rights Watch, Oxfam and Save The Children. In the last 10 years the host organisations have pressed for a UK foreign policy based firmly on human rights, humanitarian law and social justice.
