| UK should shift security agenda, think tank |

LONDON, Nov 27 (KUNA) -- The United Kingdom should seize on US
President-elect Barack Obama's victory to reshape its national security
policy, a leading British think tank said here Thursday.
A report from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) said the new
US President offers the chance for more diplomacy.
It argued that there should be a change of diplomatic strategy on
Afghanistan by bringing in partners, such as Iran, Russia, Pakistan and China.
The group behind the report also contended that the UK should move to
support a nuclear weapon-free world.
The cross-party report has been produced by a commission co-chaired by Lord
Ashdown, former opposition Liberal Democrat leader and former high
representative in Bosnia, and Lord Robertson, former Secretary General of NATO.
The IPPR said it believed there was a special need now for "constructive
external challenge" to the British Government on its security agenda.
Its report considered: How the modern world is changing? How these changes
threaten global security? And, how these threats in turn affect the UK?
The document proposed the principles that should shape British security
policy over the next decade and beyond, and made some specific policy
recommendations. Among them were calls for new arrangements to deal with
bio-security issues, including pandemic disease.
It described current provisions as "inadequate."
The commission also said that Iran should be stopped from developing
nuclear weapons and that nuclear deterrence is no longer a sound basis of
security policy.
The UK's long-term goal, it said, should be a nuclear weapon-free world, a
goal also talked about by US President-elect Obama during his election
campaign. (end) he.rk
