Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs

Founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1914, the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs is an independent, nonprofit, educational 501(c)3 institution serving international affairs professionals, teachers and students, and the attentive public. Since its inception, the Council has focused on the enduring importance of ethical values in international relations. Then, as now, the Council aspires to be a worldwide "voice for ethics." It provides a nonpartisan, open forum for discussions that go beyond the political efficacy and economic efficiency of policies to questions of values, principles, and moral argument--discussions which might not otherwise take place.

  • They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children: The Global Quest to Eradicate the Use of Child Soldiers

    Wed, May 25, 2011
    The treatment of child soldiers is an ethical minefield. To the forces that use them, child soldiers are seen as weapons that are effective, cheap, and complete. How can the International community counter this, and end the use of child soldiers? How can the use of children in warfare be turned into a liability? This discussion with Lt. General Roméo A. Dallaire probes this important human rights issue.

  • Philip Howard on Civility in Everyday Life

    Mon, May 23, 2011

He claims that today's legal system has deprived teachers and employers with the authority that they need to create and enforce codes of ethics. Furthermore, Howard states that the higher the level of civility in a society, the higher the level of trust, which also fosters economic well-being. How can ethics and civility be brought back into our everyday lives?

  • A Conversation with Microfinance Pioneer Susan Davis

    Wed, Jun 22, 2011
    Microfinance started as a movement for social justice and women's equality and gave birth to an industry, says Susan Davis. This gave rise to scale, efficiency, and large numbers of people being served -- over 150 million of the world's poorest households. However, as with any industry, ethical concerns do arise in the encounters between microfinance organizations and those that they serve. Davis is the founding president and CEO of BRAC USA, an affiliate of the international development organization BRA, founded in Bangladesh in 1972.
