The American Lebanese Coordination Council (ALCC) is a think tank institution
composed of professional individuals and committees united by one common
denominator-freedom. The ALCC is committed to fighting terrorism; exposing
oppressive regimes suspected of sponsoring terrorism, and/or violating
International Laws and Human Rights. Furthermore, ALCC is devoted to
promoting freedom and democracy; improving human rights conditions, and
progressing health conditions, especially of women and children. Some of
ALCC's methods by which these objectives are achieved include but are not
limited to:
- Providing educational conferences regarding different cultures,customs and
religions in order to promote tolerance & co-existence;
- Providing support to human and civil rights activists;
- Helping US public officials and security agencies better understand the
mentality and convictions of terrorists in order to apply the proper methods
necessary to win the war on terrorism;
- Providing policy-makers of various government agencies and international
organizations with thorough research and studies on Lebanon and the
greater Middle East region;
- Holding conferences to encourage economic reform; promote social and
scientific exchanges; recommend political and legal ideas to Lebanon's public
officials to help modernize the nation's institutions and to develop the
country's infrastructures;
- Developing a society through which professionals, who share ALCC's interests
and concerns, may come together to undertake concrete measures and
projects to improve the conditions and well being of Lebanon's diverse
communities;
- Of utmost importance to the ALCC is bridging the gap between East and West
through the active American-Lebanese professional community by
emphasizing the shared principles and values between these two great
nations. By doing so, the ALCC hopes to contribute to preserving Lebanon's
6000-year-old culture and heritage.
