The Council for Arab-British Understanding, also known as the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding (CAABU),[1] is a London-based lobbying group dedicated to improving the political, economic and cultural relations between the United Kingdom and the Arab world. Founded in 1967,[2] CAABU is the oldest and largest cross-party organisation of its type in Europe. CAABU monitors the British press for misrepresentations of Arab culture, issues relating to the Arab world and Arab British communities and calls attention to such misrepresentation for the purpose of objective reporting.[2]
CAABU is jointly chaired by Members of Parliament from each of the three main British political parties.[2] It has in excess of 120 parliamentary members.[2]
