In this document Amnesty International presents its human rights proposals to the UK Presidency. The challenges are formidable, given continuing international tensions and the pressures to counter terrorism and to control "illegal immigration". For the UK, there is the added challenge that its positive engagement in areas such as arms control, freedom of expression and development in Africa, contrasts sharply with troubling practices that are at odds with its human rights obligations in areas such as counter-terrorism and the treatment of asylum seekers.
