Carnegie Council: The voice for ethics in International Affairs.

Good god; I wonder how they define 'ethics'.

Doesn't look like they have a definition for 'ethics'; I guess its just whatever they think will make them feel morally superior.

Doesn't matter if their 'ethics' works. How the fuck can you be a movement for 'ethics', if you have not clearly articulated what you mean by 'ethics'?

What is the Carnegie Council?

The Council was established by Andrew Carnegie in 1914 to work toward the ideal of world peace, and today it aspires to be the "voice for ethics" in international affairs. We provide a home for those who explore the ethical dilemmas posed by issues such as deadly conflict, human rights violations, the ethics of globalization, global economic inequalities, and the increasing role of religion in politics around the world.


Says absolutely sweet fuck all; about addressing the root causes of vague abstract bullshit language, so as to be crystal clear about what you mean by 'ethics', so that you can honestly address the alleged problems you describe as 'ethical' problems.

Two faced vague abstract liberals! Ain't got a goddamn fucking critical thinking braincell of sincerity among them.
