Arab League
The League of Arab states also known as the Arab League is a voluntarily formed regional body consisting of Arabic speaking countries spanning across the continents of Africa and Asia (Generally referred to as the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)). Also present are five none-Arabic speaking nations who act as observers. The regional body was formed in Cairo in 1945 and consists of 22 members, with the intention of fostering the collaboration of political aims, settling disputes amongst members and to direct and organize the development of member state’s economies and observers within the league. All member states are given one vote within the league while the five countries granted observer status can speak within the council offering their insight on issues that are discussed.
