The ability of the League of Arab States to resolve Arab-Arab conflicts: The point of success and failure

Abstract

The study aimed to shed light on the attitudes of the League of Arab States towards the conflict between Algeria and Morocco and the conflict between Iraq and Kuwait. The main question was answered by shedding the light on the ability of the League to resolve Arab-Arab conflicts during the years 1964-1990 . The study relied on several methods: the historical approach, the descriptive approach , the legal approach , and the systems analysis approach in analyzing all the attitudes taken by the League towards Arab conflicts. The most important results are : the role of the League in this regard will remain limited and marginal in general which makes it's necessary for the League to reconsider its system and charters completely , the weakness of the performance and the ability of the League have appeared in resolving some Arab-Arab crises and that foreign interventions restrain the work of the League in some conflicts. The most important recommendations are : the necessity of reforming the League and expanding the level of freedoms and political participation in the member states and not making the foreign powers intervene in the League's Arab crises.
