C-Fam was founded in the summer of 1997 in order to monitor and affect the social policy debate at the United Nations and other international institutions.

C-Fam is a non-partisan, non-profit research institute dedicated to reestablishing a proper understanding of international law, protecting national sovereignty and the dignity of the human person.

C-Fam personnel have participated in every major UN social policy debate since 1997 including the Rome Statutes of the International Criminal Court, the Convention on Disabilities, Cairo+5, Beijing+5 and dozens of others.

C-Fam publishes and promotes scholarship related to the proposition that the UN and other international institutions harm a true understanding of international law and in the process undermine the family and other institutions man requires for a just, free and happy life.

C-Fam regularly interfaces with diplomats, policy makers, academics, activists and office holders from around the world.

 

C-Fam’s Mission:  To defend life and family at international institutions and to publicize the debate.

C-Fam’s Vision:  The preservation of international law by discrediting socially radical policies at the United Nations and other international institutions.

C-Fam’s Core Values:  Fidelity to the teachings of the Church  –  Perseverance –  Professionalism –  Truth telling
