Arab league
Arab League is a regional organization of Arab states in the Arab world, which is located mainly in the Middle East and North Africa. It was formed in Cairo on March 22, 1945, with six members: Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan (renamed Jordan in 1949), Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. Yemen joined as a member on May 5, 1945. The main goal of the league is to "draw closer the relations between member States and co-ordinate collaboration between them, to safeguard their independence and sovereignty, and to consider in a general way the affairs and interests of the Arab countries".
History[edit | edit source]
The Arab League was formed in Cairo on March 22, 1945, by the six founding members. The League's charter was signed on this day by the six founding members, who were joined by Yemen a few months later. The charter established the purposes of the League as being close cooperation of member states, on the one hand, and the preservation of their independence and sovereignty, on the other.
Structure and Functioning[edit | edit source]
The Arab League is composed of 22 member states. It has a system of sub-organizations and institutions to carry out its aims. These include the Council of the Arab League, the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO), the Economic and Social Council of the Arab League, and the Arab Women's Committee.
Criticism and Controversy[edit | edit source]
The Arab League has been criticized for its lack of effectiveness and its failure to resolve conflicts among its member states. Critics argue that the League has often been unable to take decisive action and has failed to adopt a unified stance on many important issues.
