LONDON: Britain's main opposition Labour Party on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) passed an emergency motion that described the new security pact among the United States, Britain and Australia, known as Aukus, as a "dangerous move that will undermine world peace." During the party's annual conference, delegates passed the emergency motion by 70.35 percent to 29.65 percent. We must keep speaking out against it," said former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on Twitter on Monday. The Aukus pact, announced earlier this month, has triggered widespread concerns and criticism. The IAEA will engage with them (Australia, the United States and Britain) on this matter in line with its statutory mandate and in accordance with their respective safeguards agreements with the Agency," it said in a recent statement.
