Philip Hammond is correct in the generous offer for Great Britain to accept 20 thousand of the most vulnerable migrants from Syria. Great Britain does not have the square inches to accept vast numbers of migrants into the country. But, Great Britain does have resources enough to provide care to the worst of the migrants.
Phillip Hammond is also correct there needs to be a plan for the migrants to return home as it is possible. The right of return has to exist in Syria including religious freedom without fear of violence.
Democracy is a focus of extremists as a place of power that will ultimately harm existing democracies. I think the laws that govern democracies have to be strong enough to survive "Freedom of Speech" and the demands of extremists to effect change.

...With the Tories accused of acting like 'Nazis', (click here) the Left-wing campaign against the Government's reform agenda is distorted and hyperbolic.......1. The ECHR has tried legislating from the bench. There’s nothing unusual in that: the US Supreme Court does it all the time. But because the US Supreme Court judges are appointed by the US President and confirmed by the Senate, they at least have a symbiotic relationship with American democracy. Not so the ECHR which is appointed by a European assembly. Hence when ECHR judges try to tell the UK that it should give prisoners the vote, this is undemocratic and a serious affront to British sovereignty....
The re-examintion of human rights policies is bringing the criticism that soldiers will have greater rights to simply kill with impunity. We have already seen that with the George W. Bush administration and their withdrawal from the Geneva Conventions.
No one will tell me the "W" administration had not decided long before they took office to resign from the Geneva Conventions. They most certainly did. There is the idea vastly popular in the Republican Party the USA stands alone in the global view of governance as above any convention it has signed. The Republican Party does not recognize the United Nations as a valuable institution to promote peace. So, let's get that straight. If there needs to be an examination of the soldier as an instrument of death with impunity, it has already happened and it needs to be well documented and brought before the international community for judgement and decision making.
The Nuremberg Trials were suppose to set the standard for global governance. It isn't. As of the invasion into Iraq in 2003 the international community had a circumstance that stood in defiance of humanity.
So, now exists Daesh. It is a genocidal militia that governs by fear and kills at it's pleasure. Now, Daesh is identifying democracies as weak governance that they can conquer by sheer numbers alone encouraging sympathizers to turn against their own government and kill at will.
Daesh is a charismatic movement centered on destroying sovereignty and creating a global jihad that will deliver their particular brand of worship to al Baghdadi. For decades those interested in human rights in identifying the vulnerability of any human life to power have worked diligently and in transparency to bring violations of human rights to the world. For decades governments have been working toward the ideals of human rights. It is a standard that effects every aspect of global governance including trade and economy. "Special Status" is decided to countries that have overcome many human rights issues. Now, according to Daesh all that is suppose to be conquered and turned into a global blood bath.
Communists decide their governance of their sovereignty all the time. Each communist country does that in different paradigms. China prefers five year plans and those plans work for China. It is time for democracies in the world to decide where their vulnerabilities exist and where human rights turns into a nightmare. The definition of sovereignty demands that examination by the governments of such vulnerability to citizens that exist like sitting ducks to such a charismatic movement.
I remind, Daesh governs by NUMBERS of people willing to kill for al Baghdadi. If Baghdadi is successful and every democracy is turned into a paradise for him to exploit, the communists won't have a chance either. Nukes anyone?
