It seeks to inform policy and strategic thinking and to contribute to debate on international affairs. We welcome those who share an interest in Council's work.

The Council is guided by a commitment to independent, nonpartisan inquiry. It approaches questions of international law, order, and security with honesty and balance, grounding its analysis in evidence and careful reasoning, and it stays open to a range of views in the belief that understanding is stronger for them. Behind this is a simple sense of purpose: that careful, principled thinking can contribute to a more stable and lawful international order. These are the values the Council works by, and looks for in those who join it.

Our culture is shaped by a shared curiosity about international affairs and a commitment to thinking about them carefully. People here engage with ideas seriously, question assumptions, and learn from one another across different disciplines and perspectives.
