It is a student society focusing on international affairs at the University of Oxford, hosting speakers on issues of defence, security, and foreign policy [3]. The central feature of their activities is a weekly seminar, given under the Chatham House rule in All Souls College by distinguished practitioners and scholars from the academic, diplomatic, military, political, intelligence, business and media fields.
