Lord Molloy

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they intend to continue their membership of the United Nations.

Lord Glenarthur

Yes. The United Kingdom was one of the founders of the United Nations, was a prime architect of its charter, and is a permanent member of the Security Council. We seek to make maximum use of the United Nations to promote the peaceful settlement of disputes, to preserve international peace, to further international cooperation, to protect human rights and to spread the rule of international law.
