Liberal International and Progressive or simply, Liberal International is a political international for international liberal parties. Its headquarters are located in London inside the building of the National Liberal Club. It was founded in Oxford in 1947, and has become the pre-eminent network for liberal parties and for the strengthening of liberal democracy around the world. The Oxford Manifesto describes the basic political principles of the Liberal International.
As of November 2006, the president of Liberal International was the British Liberal Democrat peer Lord Alderdice, former leader of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland. Deputy President was the Dutch Member of Parliament Hans van Baalen, spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, Europe and Defence for the VVD in the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament. Secretary General is Jasper Veen, member of D66, Netherlands. Its last congress was held in Marrakesh, Morocco, in November 2006, with the theme of Democracy and Development.
