		The British Government's decision to join the United States in its 'war on terrorism' raises a number of key issues regarding the formulation of its foreign and defence policy in its own national interests, which need to be publicly debated.
		The United Nations Charter, which is the key document in international law regarding the maintenance of international peace and security, states as its basic principle that "All members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state,...
		In the meantime, however, the United States threatens to extend its 'war on terrorism' by launching a full scale military attack on Iraq with the aim of finally 'changing the regime', rather than simply 'containing' it, on the allegation that Iraq is developing nuclear, chemical, and biological 'weapons of mass destruction'.

	World War II Russian-American Relations and the Baltic States
		The United States and other Western governments refused to recognize the legality of the Soviet action which was followed by arrests, murder, and deportation into forced labor camps of tens of thousands of the Baltic population.
		As the United States early announced the principles for which it would wage war, so too did the U.S.S.R. The Soviet minimum war-aims were clearly, explicitly, unambiguously stated and consistently adhered to; the frontiers of 22 June 1941, that is, the fruits of their bargain with the Nazis.
		The British, under intense pressure from the Russians to sign a treaty recognizing the 1941 frontiers, whose diplomats remembered that the failure in 1939 to cede these same Baltic States led to the Nazi-Soviet pact, who were fearful of a separate Russian peace, were ready to accommodate Stalin to preserve the alliance.

	June 10, 1996 - Library of Congress Information Bulletin
		Making these predictions was Sir John Kerr, British ambassador to the United States, who lectured on June 7 before a capacity crowd in the Mumford Room.
		Sir John predicted there would be a population shift, with the number of people in the south doubling by the year 2020 as a result of immigration from North Africa, bringing with it an increase in the problems associated with Islamic fundamentalism.
		Dr. Billington also noted that relations between the Library of Congress and the British government have vastly improved, since their "rocky beginning" (when the British burned the Library during the War of 1812, when it was housed in the U.S. Capitol).

	List of Ambassadors from the United Kingdom to the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The position of Ambassador to the United States is considered to be one of the three most important jobs in the United Kingdom's Diplomatic Service, along with those of Permanent Representative to the European Union and Permanent Under-Secretary of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
		The Ambassador's main duty is to present British policies to the American government and people, and to report American policies and views to the Government of the United Kingdom.
		In 1893, the British diplomatic mission in Washington was raised from a Legation to an Embassy, and Sir Julian Pauncefote, Minister since 1889, was appointed as the United Kingdom's first Ambassador to the USA, with the title Her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United States.

		In 1859 the duchy lost its independence to the new united Italy, and Francesco V, the last duke, was deposed.

		Other British officials on the scene agreed that the United States now faced its gravest crisis since the Revolution; that events in western Pennsylvania during July and August were the culmination of western unrest over the past twenty years.
		On two separate occasions, men "of very decent manners and appearance" contacted the British ambassador for the purpose of negotiating an alliance between the western country and his nation.

	Las Vegas SUN: Ex-British Envoy's Book Criticizes Blair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		In excerpts from his book, serialized in the British newspaper The Guardian on Monday, Sir Christopher Meyer said Blair appeared to be "seduced" by the glamor of U.S. power and was reluctant to negotiate conditions with Bush for Britain's support for the war.
		The claim is embarrassing for the prime minister, who committed British troops to the U.S.-led invasion in the face of widespread opposition and has been pilloried by the British press, and some of his own lawmakers, as Bush's poodle.
		As British ambassador to the United States from 1997 to 2003, Meyer sat in on sensitive meetings between Blair and Bush in the runup to the war and had a close relationship with senior figures in the Bush administration - including his tennis partner Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

	The Washington Times - The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
		The average American, however, is unaware of how intertwined the United Kingdom and the United States are; for example, of the wealth of research and information exchange that took place between the two countries during World War II that produced nuclear technology that defeated the Nazi-fighting machine and formed the NATO alliance.
		American companies are as prevalent in the United Kingdom as British companies are in the United States, and most citizens on either side of the Atlantic don't take much notice of this fact - a true testimony to the integration of the two countries socially, economically and culturally.
		Direct family connections with the United Kingdom can be discerned among most of the founding fathers that signed the Declaration of Independence and participated in the early constitutional convention, and even among presidents of the new nation.

	Washington Week: Student Voices (O)
		Manning spoke to approximately 300 attendees regarding the consequences of what he called "energy insecurity" and the impact oil dependence and rising energy consumption have on foreign relations, saying diplomacy and international conflicts will increasingly be based upon energy issues in the future.
		Manning specifically addressed the role of the United States in the energy crisis, stating the nation uses 26 percent of the world's oil, though it fosters only four percent of the world's population.
		He referenced the United States' refusal to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement to reduce emissions, but also said the protocol did not extend far enough into the future to address the larger concerns of climate change.

	Christian Patriotism - Ambassadors of Heavenly Government
		"We are ambassadors for Christ." An ambassador is not sent to another country to pry into the affairs, or attend to the political concerns, of that country; but to attend to the affairs of his own country as they arise in that country.
		An ambassador, then, in the country where he may be sojourning, is to attend to the affairs of his own kingdom, as they may arise there, and as they may affect the subjects of his own kingdom.
		But in the enforcement of these laws, the citizen or ambassador is to insist that the procedure at every step in the case shall be strictly in accordance with its own jurisprudence and with all the principles upon which the laws are based.
