AJC also has more than 30 formal partnerships with Jewish communities from around the world. The Department of Policy and Diplomatic Affairs AJC's Washington, D.C.-based Office of Government and International Affairs oversees domestic and international advocacy of AJC's public policy priorities through extensive outreach to, and interaction and joint programming with, U.S. and foreign government officials, political factions, policy experts, the media, and civil society partners, including overseas Jewish communities. During 2019, AJC advocated to secure the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of anti-Semitism and urge the European Union to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, among other agency-wide international goals.
