William Hague
Britain does not normally these days play a huge part in peacekeeping.
William Hague
Remember the No campaign is Conservative people, Labour people, people of no party.

William Hague
You have to have as many defences in place as you possibly can. But even then of course - and it's important to stress this - you cannot guarantee being able to prevent every attack or every kind of attack.
William Hague
Today further EU targeted sanctions on Syria come into force. The message is clear and unambiguous: those responsible for the repression will be singled out and held accountable.
William Hague
Governments that block the aspirations of their people, that steal or are corrupt, that oppress and torture or that deny freedom of expression and human rights should bear in mind that they will find it increasingly hard to escape the judgement of their own people, or where warranted, the reach of international law.
William Hague
Very few conflicts in the history of the world have been satisfactorily concluded according to a published timetable, because you lose all flexibility in dealing with your opponents.
William Hague
Whatever happens in Mogadishu, in Somalia, will happen in Great Britain. We have interlocking interests.

William Hague
There is no budget for travel for a Shadow Foreign Secretary.
William Hague
Wouldn't it be better to have a watertight law designed to catch the guilty, rather than a press release law designed to catch the headlines?
William Hague
Well, if you're looking for me to lead a normal representative life, well good luck finding a foreign secretary who'd be like that - totally dependant on the political system and has never earned any money. Then you'll get the politicians you deserve.
William Hague
We are not directly involved in Syria. But we will be working with our partners in the European Union and at the United Nations to see if we can persuade the Syrian authorities to go, as I say, more in that direction of respect for democracy and human rights.
William Hague
It was inevitable the Titanic was going to set sail, but that doesn't mean it was a good idea to be on it.
William Hague
The low carbon economy is at the leading edge of a structural shift now taking place globally...
William Hague
The appalling crackdown that we witnessed in Hama and other Syrian cities on 30 and 31 July only erode the regime's legitimacy and increase resentment. In the absence of an end to the senseless violence and a genuine process of political reform, we will continue to pursue further EU sanctions.
William Hague
I've always been opposed myself to prisoners having the vote.
