Foreign Policy

FCNL's foreign policy program works to end current wars and prevent new ones, with the long-term vision of a world without war.

Bridget Moix leads our foreign policy team, working with staff for each of the program areas within foreign policy.

Peaceful Prevention of Deadly Conflict

By strengthening U.S. contributions in three areas, diplomacy, development, and international cooperation, the United States could shift its foreign policy away from late military reaction to crises and toward early, peaceful prevention. That change would save lives and treasure.

Iran and Middle East

FCNL urges Congress to reject calls for military action and indiscriminate sanctions, and to press for sustained negotiations with Iran to prevent war. Vigorous U.S. leadership, in partnership with the international community is needed to help resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and end the enforced isolation of Gaza.

Kate Gould leads FCNL's lobbying on a peaceful solution to the U.S. conflict with Iran as well as FCNL's lobbying on Israel-Palestine.

Kenya

With Kenya's national elections approaching in 2012, FCNL is highlighting the potential for renewed violence there as a critical case for peaceful prevention of deadly conflict.
