Chatham House Rule

The Chatham House Rule is a guideline for discussions that encourages openness and confidentiality. It states that participants in a meeting can use the information shared during the discussion but cannot reveal the identities or affiliations of the speakers or any participants. This rule promotes honest dialogue and allows people to express their views freely, knowing their comments won't be attributed to them. It is often used in policy discussions and forums to foster a safe environment for sharing ideas without the risk of public exposure.
