Founded in 1967,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Who we are )〕 Caabu is the oldest and largest cross-party organisation of its kind, with over 100 parliamentary members.
Caabu carries out a range of events and publications aimed at promoting greater understanding of the Arab world, in particular political issues. Caabu works with politicians, conducting in-depth parliamentary briefings and situation up-dates on the Middle East, in addition to taking politicians to the region. Caabu organises public and private meetings to raise awareness and tackle important issues in the Arab world. It monitors the British media for misrepresentations of the Arab world for the purpose of objective reporting and conducts educational projects in schools across the country.
Caabu is a non-profit organisation funded by donations and membership fees.
== History ==
Caabu was founded shortly after the 1967 war, when 98% of the British public were polled as knowing little or nothing about the Arab world.〔http://www.caabu.org/about/history〕 It was started by a group of politicians, journalists and academics whose aim was “to address the lack of a clear voice in British politics that valued relations with the Arab world and was prepared to stand up for Arab and Palestinian rights”. The organisation sought to challenge anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia, by engaging actively with the media to foster greater understanding and a more balanced coverage of the region.〔
