Center for International Policy
- Center for International Policy
The Center for International Policy (CIP), located in Washington DC, was founded in 1975 by diplomats and peace activists in the wake of the Vietnam War. The Center campaigned to ensure that governments' human rights records became a factor in the allocation of U.S. aid. It has played a role in Central America's post-conflict reconciliation, the ongoing effort to end the embargo on Cuba, and efforts to limit U.S. military assistance to Western Hemisphere countries, especially Colombia. In the 1990's the Center expanded its agenda to include reform of national intelligence agencies.
This work continues today, along with a program on security in North and Southeast Asia, research on illegal financial flows, and a new effort to increase citizen participation in Central America. Currently former ambassador Robert E. White is the president of CIP, and William Goodfellow is the executive director.
