International institutions
We're working to promote international institutions such as the European Union, the United Nations, NATO and the Commonwealth.
We believe these institutions are essential in helping the UK to face the challenges, and benefit from the opportunities of a globalised world
The European Union
Britain has been a member of the EU since 1973. The EU is active in tackling global issues, but also works to support British communities. Find out more about the benefits of Britain's membership of the EU
The Commonwealth Conversation

Nato
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was founded in 1949 and remains vital to the UK's national security
United Nations
We're working to make the UN a more effective organisation, better able to respond and deal with the challenges we all face.
The Commonwealth

Reforming international institutions
