Amman, 24 December 2021 (TDI): The Oman delegation addressed the 5th session of the Arab Parliament’s Office. Hasan Ali al Madhani, in the representation of the Majlis Shura, attended the meeting with competent Council members in Jordan.
The Sultanate of Oman led and participated in different preparatory committees. As for the next plenary session to be held in Jordan, many proposals were reviewed to set today’s agenda.
The Arab Parliament
Along these lines, the Arab Parliament is the legislative body of the Arab League (LAS). Its system does not have a direct representation of the citizens. Therefore, the national parliaments of the 22 members of the League nominate 4 MPs each. In other words, they represent the Arab nation as a whole.
Thus, they represent the Arab Nation as a whole. That is why the Parliament’s importance lies in their members’ independence to own their voice in opinion. However, at the end of the debate, they should reflect on setting a united Arab political discourse.
