    Council on Foreign Relations, Report of an Independent Task Force on Public Diplomacy (July 2002)
    "Examples of misunderstood or misguided policies include the rejections of... the agreement to create the International Criminal Court.... Let us be clear: public diplomacy is not a matter of seeking foreign public approval to drive U.S. policy, nor is it simply an effort to win popularity. Rather, it involves a baseline recognition that foreign attitudes and understanding affect the success or failure of U.S. policies."
