The prestigious Council on Foreign Relations has admitted world traveler and champion of human rights, Angelina Jolie, to its high brow ranks.

The exclusive, Manhattan-based foreign-policy group has decided to admit Jolie, a U.N. goodwill ambassador who has traveled over 30 trips worldwide to advocate for refugees, AIDS orphans and disaster victims, reports the New York Post.

Friday, the council's membership accepted Jolie's nomination - and Jolie now joins other club members Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Henry Kissinger, Colin Powell and Alan Greenspan to name a few.

The Post reports the group requires "no academic credentials but looks for members who take part in world affairs."

"Bring her on," said Dr. Gordon Adams, an international-affairs professor. "The idea of having Henry Kissinger and Angelina Jolie in the same organization is dazzling."

The Post reports member Carol Adelman, former head of U.S. foreign-aid programs, saying, "It's not like Paris Hilton is being nominated."
