Arab League

People's opinions and beliefs are often held based on how they regard, comprehend, or perceive something. This year’s HIAMUN theme tackles the concept of perception, which aims to highlight how each country's unique perspective has a significant impact on our division or our unity. And how, through effective communication, we could reach common ground amidst our divergent views.

Since its establishment in 1945, the Arab League charter has served as a framework for improving ties and collaboration among Arab nations on a variety of issues of mutual interest, all the while upholding and respecting national sovereignty. The Arab League body has supported and continues to support the United Nations' mission of achieving peace, security, and stability by averting violence, settling differences, and acting in unison and solidarity. 

My honorable chair, Ahmed Medhat, and I have chosen three prominent topics that we believe are vital to discuss as they not only pose a threat to Arab unity but also stir up significant controversy. For our first topic, we will be "Establishing measures to reduce conflict in Sudan.'' As the violence in Sudan grows, not only do its ramifications across numerous nations increase, but their dire humanitarian crisis continues to worsen as a result of the power struggle taking place there. The second topic is "Setting a framework to establish equitable water distribution in the Arab world." Numerous conflicts amongst Arab countries are caused by issues over the three major rivers. Not only that but inequitable water distribution can and already has been utilized as a weapon, as seen by ISIS and Syria, making this issue a vital one to discuss. For our third and final topic, we will be "Evaluating the role of foreign intervention and its Effects on Arab Countries.” Several types of foreign intervention have been shown to increase the risk of conflict and civil war by interfering in government matters or stationing foreign military soldiers on a country's territory. Therefore, by addressing this topic, the Arab League can hopefully find an approach to reduce the potential risks of deploying foreign intervention and minimize the need for it.

Ahmed and I are more than happy to welcome you to HIAMUN’24 and are eagerly looking forward to witnessing you step out of your comfort zone while participating in intense and constructive debates. We hope to see cooperation and effective communication in order to find adequate solutions to the issues at hand. We truly hope you find this conference a memorable experience where you can grow and evolve.
