Mission & Interests

Goals: CCI is a non-profit organization. Our goal is to influence public policy on both sides of the Atlantic and broader at international organizations from a Christian and politically conservative perspective, with the broad objective of fostering and protecting the greatest achievements of our political systems: limited government, the free market and individual liberty, especially religious freedom and freedom of education, with the family as the foundational building block of society. CCI stands up for Christian standards at international organizations such as the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU), African Union (AU). CCI is able to do this because it has acquired the powers and access to speak and lobby with these organizations and representatives.

Structure

Is Member Of: CCI is a Stichting, based in the Netherlands. The regulations for such a legal body in the Netherlands are that a Stichting, which can be translated in the word 'foundation' is an organization without membership. Another possible concept for a legal body is an association. Associations have members. That doesn't mean that CCI does not represent many people. We contact them and can be contacted in several ways like, grass root meetings with the support base, national and international conferences in and out our office in personal meetings. In all this kind of meetings we get their views and can pass them on to the podia of the several official national and international bodies where CCI is working, including to the United nations, where CCI has accreditation with the UN Economic and Social Council. The current numbers of members of our Board is three, Mr. Henk Jan van Schothorst is executive officer and founder of the organization, from The Netherlands.
