The Royal Institute for International Affairs (also known as Chatham House) is a British think tank. It was founded in 1920 and is part of the British establishment.

At the centre of the British Establishment, Chatham House holds meetings at which members, discuss the ongoings of world affairs. Over the years many famous statesmen have spoken to distinguished audiences at Chatham House. Recent notable speakers include Jack Straw (British Foreign Secretary) and the Palestinian Prime Minister.

Its famous Chatham House Rule, when invoked, ensures confidentiality of all meeting participants and attributing comments to them. The rule currently reads as follows:

"When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed". [1]
