The National Association of Arab Americans

The National Association of Arab Americans (NAAA) is a foreign policy lobbying group dedicated to the formulation and implementation of an objective and nonpartisan U.S. foreign policy agenda in the Middle East.

Founded in 1972, NAAA works to strengthen U.S. relations with Arab countries and to promote an evenhanded American policy based on justice and peace for all parties in the Middle East. The premier Arab-American political organization, NAAA serves as a spearhead for the community's lobbying activities in Washington, D.C. and is the only such organization registered with Congress.

NAAA is involved in a wide range of issues pertaining to U.S.-Arab bilateral relations. These include: all dimensions of the Arab-Israeli conflict, including Jerusalem, the Middle East peace negotiations, democracy and human rights issues, the reconstruction of Lebanon, U.S. foreign aid, and Regional security and stability.

In keeping with its mission, NAAA is opposed to military occupation in all its manifestations, and advocates a permanent end to the occupation of Palestine, Lebanon and the Syrian Golan Heights through the achievement of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the region.
