1st anniversary of the transitional Arab parliament
The Transitional Arab Parliament is an Institution created within the framework of the League of Arab States. It constitutes a forum that allows Arab people to freely express their opinions and concerns.
This parliament, created in harmony with the expectations and aspirations of the Arab people, aims to establish the bases of common Arab action, the expansion of popular participation in the implementation of decisions and in the discussion of different causes and policies, since these elements are the foundation of all democratic development in the Arab region.
The creation of the Transitional Arab Parliament was decided under resolution no. 292 of the Arab Summit, during its 17th ordinary session held on March 23, 2005 in Algiers. However, it was in Algeria that a set of achievements were defined, such as the promotion of the consultative principle, the modernization and development of systems of joint Arab action, as well as the strengthening of Arab relations.
Furthermore, and in the same resolution of the Algiers Summit, establishing the Transitional Arab Parliament, it is stipulated the implementation, by the latter, of a statute and organic regulations of the permanent parliament and its adoption by the Council of the League of Arab States during the summit, before the end of its present mandate.
The establishment of this body would allow the consolidation of ties between its countries and the establishment of a new order capable of guaranteeing economic, social and political development in a context of respect for the law and human rights in order to achieve the eminent objective which is the achievement of a global Arab union.
Resolution No. 256 of Tunis, in 2004, relating to the modernization of the processes of joint Arab action and Resolution No. 6479 of the extraordinary session of the Council of the League dated 01/13/2005, in accordance with the wishes of the Arab States and their popular institutions, contributed to boosting Arab solidarity actions.
The Arab Parliament is made up of 88 deputy members. Each state is represented by 4 deputies. Located in Damascus, it is chaired by Mr. Mohammed Jassem Al-Saqr from Kuwait. His mandate, which lasts five years, can be extended by two years as a final limit.
And in accordance with article 9 of its statute and organic regulations, the Transitional Arab Parliament exercises its prerogatives with a view to strengthening relations between the Arab States within the framework of the league charter, and the regulations and conventions in force.
