William Hague

William Hague
How long do Syrian families have to live in fear that their children will be killed or tortured, before the Security Council will act? How many people need to die before the consciences of world capitals are stirred?
William Hague
A generation of children has been betrayed.
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
It's necessary for Israelis and Palestinians to make the compromises that are required to get the direct talks back on track.
William Hague
We hope that the long darkness through which the Burmese people have lived may now be coming to an end.
William Hague
You do have to do business with and to try to influence people you don't agree with, or find disagreeable, so it's important to stress that balance.
William Hague
