3rd Anniversary of the Maghreb Summit of Zéralda
On June 10, 1988, the summit of the heads of state of Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia was held in Zéralda (east of Algiers), announcing a year later that of Marrakech, on February 17, 1989, which laid the first legal milestones for the Arab Maghreb Union (UMA).
The creation of the UMA responds to the desire to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood which unite the member states and their peoples;
- achieve the progress and prosperity of their societies and the defense of their rights;
- contribute to the preservation of peace based on justice and equity;
- pursue a common policy in different areas;
- work progressively to achieve the free movement of people, services, goods and capital.
The UMA is made up of the Council of Heads of State, the Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, a Monitoring Committee, a Court of Justice composed of ten members (two per country) competent for disputes between parties nationals of member countries, a Consultative Chamber composed of 30 delegates per country as well as four specialized ministerial commissions.
Its secretariat is not fixed and follows the presidency which passes annually from one head of state to another.
