​The International Society for Military Ethics (ISME) is an organization of military professionals, academics, and others formed to discuss ethical issues relevant to the military. This chapter in North America is the founding chapter, formerly known as the "Joint Services Conference on Professional Ethics" (JSCOPE). Affiliate chapters have been established in Europe (Euro-ISME), and are in the process of formation in Latin America, Africa, and the Pacific Rim.
