Background

Founded in 1983, NCUSAR is a non-profit organization that works with students and the public to increase knowledge and understanding of the Arab world. It is located in Washington, D.C., where it convenes seminars with specialists in the field of Arab-U.S. relations. The public seminars cover issues related to politics, the economy, and humanitarian aid, such as U.S. policy in Yemen and the U.S.-Saudi diplomatic relationship.[1][2]

The council is led by Dr. John Duke Anthony, staffed by professionals in the field of Arab politics.

The Council promotes programs for educational lectures, publications, and public forums. NCUSAR hosts the annual Arab-U.S. Policymakers Conference, a gathering to discuss issues in the Arab world. It also sponsors the intercollegiate Model Arab League, a student forum similar to the Model United Nations, as well as educational programs on Capitol Hill to discuss issues pertaining to the U.S. and the Islamic world.
