The International Center for Western Values (ICWV) describes its own mission as 'exposing and fighting antidemocratic ideologies'.[1] It is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.[2]

History

ICWV is registered as a a non-profit organization ('stichting') under Dutch law (Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce #56660995, full name: 'International Center for Western Values Stichting').[2]

Activities

The ICWV describes itself as 'an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization' dedicated to: ˜˜ ˜˜*Studying, exposing, and fighting antidemocratic tendencies and ideologies in Europe and elsewhere.

  • Improving the public debate about Israel by presenting facts and correcting misinformation.
  • Fighting antisemitism and the defamation of the Jewish people and the Jewish state in Europe and elsewhere.[1]

Its website states that the organisation 'is primarily concerned with developments within Western societies,' but has 'partners, correspondents, and collaborators' based 'all over Europe, in the US, and in Israel'. It claims to 'initiate' and 'co-create' books which are 'distributed globally' but in terms of 'organizing conferences, oral presentations, and lectures' states that 'our operations are confined to mainland Europe and the UK'.[2]

The ICWV website cross-posts articles from pro-Israel and anti-Muslim websites such as Arutz Sheva, The Gatestone Institute and the Times of Israel.
