The founding “Oxford Manifesto” (1947) is widely considered as one of the most important political documents of the 20th century. It has since become the pre-eminent network for promoting liberalism, individual freedom, human rights, the rule of law, tolerance, equality of opportunity, social justice, free trade and a market economy.
Yabloko has been member of Liberal International since 1998 and participates in the development of joint liberal answers on the key issues of the international politics and facilitates the spread of objective information on Russia.
