People who quite often cannot stand each other's politics. Nobody signs anything. Nobody is asked to agree with us, and plenty of them don't.
The arguments leave the room and the names stay in it.
We don't publish who was there. Everything that was said gets published; nothing that identifies who said it does.
It is written to be argued with, not admired, and it usually is.
No speeches, no panel, no press, no phones on the table.
Including the bits we did not expect and the bits we did not like.
Nobody leaves agreeing. That was never the plan. The idea is to give the question the time it deserves, in front of decision makers and influential people.
Nobody at these dinners is asked for money.
There is no communiqué at the end and no ten-point plan.
We are a human rights charity and we work from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The names are private. Everything that was said gets published.
Two papers per dinner: the one that started the argument and the one that reports it. Free, and sent straight to your inbox.
