Foreign Secretary Miliband told Labour's party conference that Britain must play its part in "rebuilding" the world order, warning that democratic norms are under threat globally.
In a conference speech, Miliband said the international rule of law "is being brazenly flouted," framing the UK's foreign policy role in terms of defending a rules-based international system amid what he described as mounting global instability.
The remarks came as part of wider live coverage of the Labour conference, during which other party and government figures also addressed economic and international themes.
The source material did not provide further detail on specific policy measures Miliband proposed, nor on reaction from other parties or international partners to the speech.
Coverage of the conference continued as other developments were reported alongside the foreign secretary's remarks.
