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.

    Gillian Martin Sorensen, senior advisor at the United Nations Foundation, addresses the Carnegie Council about recent developments in the relationship between the United Nations and the United States.

"The UN can do better and it can do more, and when the U.S. is fully committed the chance of success is always greater," says Sorensen.

  • Can Obama Please Both Arabs and Israelis?

    Wed, Oct 6, 2010
    Despite President Barack Obama's rhetoric, most Arabs still see America through the prism of pain of the Arab-Israeli conflict, says Shibley Telhami, and a majority of Arabs and Israelis no longer believe peace is possible. Both the Arabs and the Israelis need to put public opinion aside and build an agreement. Shibley Telhami is the Anwar Sadat Professor for Peace and Development at the University of Maryland, College Park, and non-resident senior fellow at the Saban Center at the Brookings Institution.
