Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs

http://www.cceia.org

Aims

The Carnegie Council is an independent, nonprofit educational institution with no formal ties to any religious group or government-affiliated organization involved in research and education in ethics and international policy. It aims to explore the ethical dilemmas posed by issues such as deadly conflict, human rights violations, environmental protection, global economic disparities, and the politics of reconciliation.

Activities

The institution-headquartered in New York but with an increasingly broad international reach-provides educational experiences in which participants from a variety of backgrounds are encouraged to share their ideas and learn from one another. It uses Council publications, the broadcast media, and the Internet to extend its learning community to those outside of New York who share its research aims. The council serves educators, government officials, members of the diplomatic community, journalists, NGO representatives, business executives, and concerned individuals. The council's programs are divided into: Human Rights, Armed Conflict, Reconciliation, Global Justice, Environment and International Ethics.

Publications and other Resources

The website features the Council's bi-yearly Human Rights Dialogue (in PDF format), selections from the Council's Morgenthau Lectures (in HTML format), Louis Nizer Lectures on Public Policy (in PDF format) and Public Philosophy Monographs (in PDF format) to download at no cost. In addition to this, each of the six program areas features downloadable articles and teaching tools relevant to the particular topic.
