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
Egypt is a sovereign nation.
William Hague
There is no budget for travel for a Shadow Foreign Secretary.
William Hague

William Hague
Time is not on Gaddafi's side. People ask about the exit strategy. It's Colonel Gaddafi who needs an exit strategy because this pressure will only mount and it will be intensified over the coming days and weeks.
William Hague
Remember the No campaign is Conservative people, Labour people, people of no party.
William Hague
I'm not, nor is anybody I know in government part of a nasty right wing clique.
William Hague
I don't deny that there are problems in the intelligence world, but I would argue that in the UK we try to uphold the highest standards in the world.
William Hague
Governments that use violence to stop democratic development will not earn themselves respite forever. They will pay an increasingly high price for actions which they can no longer hide from the world with ease, and will find themselves on the wrong side of history.
William Hague
I don't think a wise thing at this moment is for Israel to launch a military attack on Iran.
William Hague
