Center for International Policy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Center for International Policy, located in Washington DC, was founded in 1975 by diplomats and former peace activists in the wake of the Vietnam War. The Center campaigned to ensure that a government's human rights record became a factor in allocating aid. They also played a role in Central America's post conflict reconciliation, the effort to end the embargo on Cuba, and efforts to limit U.S. military assistance to the Western Hemisphere, especially Colombia. In the 1990's the Center expanded its agenda to include reform of the national intelligence agencies.

This work continues today along with a program on security in North and Southeast Asia, research on illegal financial flows and a new effort to increase citizen participation in Central America. Currently Robert E. White is the President of CIP and William Goodfellow is the Executive Director.
