Chatham House Rules

Chatham House Rules are guidelines for discussions that allow participants to speak freely without fear of their comments being publicly attributed to them. This means that while people can share insights and opinions, they cannot reveal who said what outside the meeting. The aim is to encourage open dialogue and promote candor, particularly in sensitive or controversial topics. This practice is named after the Royal Institute of International Affairs, located in Chatham House, London, where the rule was established.
