The American Task Force on Lebanon (ATFL) is a non-partisan organization composed of Americans of Lebanese ancestry, committed to strengthening ties between the United States and an independent, sovereign Lebanon. Our mission is rooted in fostering closer and friendlier relations between both nations.
We do not promote, attempt to influence, or endorse any individual for political office or position. In fact, one of the tenets of ATFL is that it does not get involved in the internal operations of Lebanon. In this regard, ATFL is not engaged in supporting or otherwise influencing the appointment of any candidate for high office in Lebanon. Any such claims are entirely unfounded, misleading, and false.
Furthermore, while individual ATFL members may, in their personal capacities, engage in independent initiatives or political discussions, such actions should not be construed as representing, being authorized by, or endorsed by the ATFL.
Additionally, if any board member is running for a high government position in Lebanon, their membership in ATFL will be suspended for the duration of their candidacy. Also, no Lebanese American in an official Lebanese government position is allowed to apply for or will be admitted to membership of ATFL.
ATFL remains steadfast in its principles of integrity and independence. Our mission is clear, and any suggestion that we serve private or political interests is entirely false.
