		Foreign affairs and the protection of nationals abroad devolve on the German Government, which will also maintain military garrisons and establishments in the protectorate.
		The alleged ill-treatment of German minorities in foreign countries which, it is true, may sometimes, perhaps often, arise from natural causes, but which may also be the subject and result of provocation from outside, is used as a pretext for intervention.
		It was thus possible that during the British non-virtuous period 46 million Englishmen have conquered almost a quarter of the world, while 80 million Germans, on account of their virtue, have to exist at the rate of 140 to the square kilometre.

	Macedonia News - The British Foreign Office and Macedonian National Identity by Andrew Rossos
		The British Foreign Office provides a case study because Great Britain played a leading role in the area after the 1878 Treaty of San Stefano; during the inter-war years respect for national self-determination and for the rights of national minorities was, at least in theory and in official policy, the accepted and prevailing norm.
		But while the Foreign Office endeavored to avoid dealing with the national dimension and implications of the problem until as late as 1930, by the mid-1920s its position was already being questioned and challenged by Foreign Office officials in the Balkans, and was becoming untenable.
		While the Foreign Office either minimized or was ignorant of the strength of Macedonian nationalism on the left, it was not ready to overlook the spread of German and Italian influence in the area.

	British Foreign Office Under Fire for Engaging With Radical Muslims -- 07/13/2006
		Martin Bright, who authored a report for the think tank, cited official papers he said had been provided by an anonymous source showing that the foreign office considered talking to groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood to be necessary if reform was to take place in the region.

		Haras Rafiq, a member of a taskforce on extremism set up by the Home Office after the 7/7 bombings and comprising scholars, imams and community representatives, said Wednesday he was frustrated by the government's tendency to talk solely to a small number of Islamic groups, most of whom were heavily religious.

	British activists say rights ignored - theage.com.au
		The British Foreign Office defended the decision of its minister Jack Straw to reject the asylum bid, arguing that under international refugee law Australia had responsibility to consider the boys' asylum claim.
		But Amnesty International maintained that foreign missions did have the discretion to extend asylum and that the decision to turn down the application was made without adequate deliberation, just eight hours after the boys entered the consulate.
		Amnesty spokesman Neil Durkin said the Foreign Office was not, as it maintained, bound by the 1951 United Nations Convention on Refugees, which states that asylum is a matter for the country in which the refugee arrives.

	British Foreign Office and Macedonian Identity
		Widespread opposition to foreign rule is also demonstrated by the results of the first post-war elections held in Greece, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, the freest to be held during the inter-war years.
		The new rulers had forced on the Macedonians their own, that is foreign, administrative and legal codes ''without regard to local conditions or requirements." Their manner of administration was considered even worse:[34] it was described as invariably harsh, brutal, arbitrary and totally corrupt.
		Consequently, British diplomats there were more deeply and broadly versed in all the intricacies of the Macedonian problem than their counterparts in Athens and Belgrade, and they were more apt to search for alternative solutions.

		Pakistan’s principled stance on the issue was conveyed during a recent visit of senior foreign office and interior ministry officials to the UK.
		Foreign office sources cited British laws, according to which the MI5 would have applied to the home secretary for warrants under Part II of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act and Intelligence Service Act 1994 authorising intrusion of privacy and the installation of a covert eavesdropping device on a private property, respectively.
		Officials said the British foreign office’s contention that it did not comment on intelligence matters “angered” the Pakistani government, which went out on a limb to support the UK and the US as a key ally in the war against terrorism, arresting more than 600 Arab and Afghan Al-Qaeda supporters.

		Thrice British foreign secretary, he was widely known for his bias against Jews, and during the 1930s expressed precious little regret about Nazi persecutions.

	Op-Ed on “Financial Times’ Bias—Arm of British Foreign Office”
		It has been my contention for years that the British press on foreign policy issues is basically an arm of the British Foreign Office, particularly on secondary issues such as the Cyprus problem.
		With the end of the Cold War in 1990, the British Foreign Office’s key concern in foreign affairs, on a par with national security, is the economic interests of Britain.
		The British have always resented the Greek Cypriots anti-colonial actions in the 1950’s and deliberately courted Turkey to raise the 18 percent Turkish Cypriot minority as an obstacle to self-determination despite the fact that Turkey had renounced all rights to Cyprus in the Lausanne Treaty of 1923.
