In the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and with tensions between China
and Taiwan on the rise, the burden on the West to fight for the values of NATO: liberal democracy; individual freedom; and the rule of law is mounting. However, many have argued that the current geopolitical situation was brought about by the arrogant interventions of the West. 20 years on from its invasion, Iraq still casts a long shadow. At stake is the question of whether western liberal values can, and should, be achieved by the illiberal means of war.

ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.

The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: https://oxford-union.org/supportus
