American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus

The American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus (ACPC) is a project of Freedom House which monitors events in the North Caucasus.About ACPC, American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus, accessed 14 June 2010.
The ACPC was founded in 1999 as the American Committee for Peace in Chechnya.About ACPC, American Committee for Peace in Chechnya, accessed 14 June 2010, archived at the Internet Archive 10 February 2006. Its remit expanded with the spread of conflict into other republics in the North Caucasus – Ingushetia, Dagestan, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia and North Ossetia.About ACPC, American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus, accessed 14 June 2010.
The ACPC is headed by four co-chairs:
::Chaired by former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, former Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig, Jr. and former Congressman Stephen J. Solarz, the committee is composed of more than one hundred distinguished Americans representing both major political parties and nearly every walk of life. Former Ambassador Max M. Kampelman is the co-chair emeritus.About ACPC, American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus, accessed 14 June 2010. 
A RightWeb profile of the committee noted the predominance of conservatives, neoconservatives and liberal interventionists among ACPC members: 
::What's striking about ACPC is that U.S. militarists and neocon strategists are supporting an insurgent movement that is not only nationalist but also largely Islamist. Although ACPC notes its concern about human rights violations by Russia, the committee appears to be more concerned with advancing U.S. geopolitics in this region with respect to Russia and secondarily with China.RightWeb, American Committee for Peace in Chechnya, 19 April 2005.
