As socially responsible members of society, we ardently condemn these heinous crimes, and we feel that consistent with our personal values and the guiding principles of the Institute of Strategic and International Studies, we must change our acronym to InstSISWorld. Therefore, from now on, you can see this acronym, along with its shortened version, or InstSIS also legally acquired by our organization, in all official announcements made by the Institute of Strategic and International Studies.
