About

In the introduction, this webinar addressed the purpose of the Arab League, its members, its headquarters, the Secretary General, and the charter. Additionally, the webinar presented a classification of the legislative bodies in each member state of the Arab League, distinguishing between bicameral parliaments—comprising two chambers, as in Bahrain, Egypt, and Jordan—and unicameral parliaments, consisting of a single chamber, as in Syria, Lebanon, and Tunisia.

The webinar addressed the modalities by which parliamentarians in the member states of the Arab League are either directly elected by the populace or appointed by the respective heads of state. In addition, the webinar examined the eligibility criteria and legal requirements for membership in the legislative bodies across Arab countries.

Finally, the webinar provided an analysis of the legislative process in Arab states, including those with bicameral and unicameral parliamentary systems, as well as in states such as Kuwait, where the legislative body is currently suspended by decree of the ruler. The webinar also examined the legislative procedures in Arab countries experiencing internal armed conflict, such as Libya.
