Committee Objectives:
  Since our founding, the NAACP tirelessly supported globally recognized human and civil rights concerns throughout the world. In support of this aim, the NAACP has been involved in multiple international initiatives from 1909 through to the present. Currently, the NAACP actively engages in advocacy and education before the United States Congress, the Administration, the United Nations and other international bodies, and foreign nations on a plethora of issues. These actions include working with members of the Congress and the Administration and their staff members in the crafting of policy and legislation; testifying and working with the United Nations to develop policies, protocols, covenants, and treaties; drafting and delivering testimony before the United States Congress; and creating and distributing Action Alerts, Issues Briefs and Issue Updates aimed at informing, educating, and engaging NAACP Members and the American public about different issues and how they can be more actively involved in making improvements.
