Internally the UK likes to think and say they are “a world leader in promoting, defending and shaping international law”.

Yet the reality is different: Britain has been promoting at least six foreign policies violating international law, which make any criticism coming from the UK against other States a mockery.

Israeli goods

The first two concern Israel. Although Britain regards Israeli settlements in the occupied territories as illegal, in line with international law, it permits trade with “Israeli” goods from those illegal settlements and does not even keep a record of imports into the UK from them.

Yet UN Security Council resolutions require all states to “distinguish, in their relevant dealings, between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories occupied since 1967”.
