AJC changed history.

2000
After a long, AJC-led campaign, Israel is admitted to the United Nations’ Western European and Others Group. Until then— due to opposition largely from Arab and Muslim countries— Israel was the only country unaffiliated with a regional group and therefore the sole UN member state ineligible to compete for a seat on the UN Security Council.

AJC plays a critical role in the European Union’ s unanimous 2013 decision to designate the“ military wing” of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. The designation hinders the ability of this Iranian terror proxy to raise funds, recruit members, and transport operatives across Europe. Today, AJC continues to lead a transatlantic advocacy campaign urging the EU to ban Hezbollah in its entirety.
After talks with representatives from American Jewish Committee and security experts, German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich said he favored banning the group( Hezbollah) in Europe.
