Mission & Goals
Events in the Middle East have an impact on world peace and stability. Therefore, it is vital for all governments in Europe and North America to maintain vigilance and an active policy about the region. The rise of religious extremism and fundamentalism in the region is a serious threat to global peace and security and beyond any security measures it remains a strategic policy issue. Confronting the spread of Islamic fundamentalism requires working with and supporting democratic and moderate social and political actors in the region, and promotion of respect for human rights, democracy, individual freedom, religious tolerance and social justice. The primary focus of the Association will be policy on Iran on both sides of Atlantic.
