The National Committee on American Foreign Policy (NCAFP) was founded in 1974 by Hans J. Morgenthau and others dedicated to the resolution of conflicts that threaten U.S. interests. For the past 35 years, this nonprofit, activist organization has held fast to its core mission: to identify, articulate, and advance American foreign policy interests from a nonpartisan perspective within the framework of political realism.
Our mission is to identify, articulate, and help advance American foreign policy interests from a nonpartisan perspective within the framework of political realism. American foreign policy interests include:
* preserving and strengthening national security;
* supporting countries committed to the values and the practice of political, religious, and cultural pluralism;
* improving U.S. relations with the developed and developing worlds;
* advancing human rights;
* encouraging realistic arms-control agreements;
* curbing the proliferation of nuclear and other unconventional weapons;
* promoting an open and global economy.
Believing that an informed public is vital to a democratic society, the National Committee offers educational programs that address security challenges facing the United States and produces a variety of publications, including its bimonthly journal, American Foreign Policy Interests, that present keen analyses of all aspects of American foreign policy.
