International Organisations: Democracies

Question
What is their assessment of proposals to establish a league of democracies composed of all democratically ruled countries.

My Lords, there have been a variety of proposals from think tanks and others for a league or other grouping of democracies. In assessing any such proposal, we would consider its aims and how it might complement existing multilateral organisations and democracy-based groupings, such as the Community of Democracies.
