Proceeding contribution from David Wilshire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 April 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Global Security (Russia).


Global Security (Russia)

Did the Committee give some thought to the important difference between values and standards when we debate democracy and the like? A lot of the treaties say, ““We subscribe to the following values””, which is not to say that the many countries that sign them will commit to standards laid down in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany or like countries. That is an important distinction as regards Russia.
