The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is a nonpartisan center for scholars dedicated to producing and disseminating ideas so that policymakers, journalists, students, and interested citizens can better understand the world and the foreign policy choices facing the US and other governments. CFR Task Force Reports are consensus documents on US foreign policy published by CFR-sponsored independent task forces. They are published when critical US foreign policy issues arise, and it seems that a group diverse in backgrounds and perspectives may, nonetheless, be able to reach a meaningful consensus on a policy through private and nonpartisan deliberations.
