CMIP is a non-governmental,
non-profit organization. CMIP maintains precise, professional standards while
studying the content of school textbooks in the greater Middle East. Our reports
seek to determine whether children are being taught according to values and
ideologies compatible with principles generally accepted by the international
community with regard to the “other”, the West, democracy and tolerance, Jews
and Israel.
CMIP is run by a group of civil volunteers
in the Middle East and
Europe. It is governed by a General Assembly, an
Executive Board and an International Advisory Board.
