Arab Parliament

What Arab Parliament does

Arab Parliament (البرلمان العربي) is an intergovernmental parliamentary institution operating under the Arab League, officially established in 2012 though conceptually originating from Arab League proposals in 1955. Headquartered in Cairo, Egypt, it serves as the unified parliamentary body representing 22 Arab League member states (including Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, and others). Its core function is to coordinate joint Arab parliamentary positions on regional and international issues, issue statements on regional crises, harmonize legislation across member states, and conduct inter-parliamentary diplomacy. The organization does not sell commercial products or services and is funded entirely through inter-parliamentary contributions and Arab League allocations.

The Arab Parliament's product portfolio centers on its official digital platform (ar-pr.org) as the core institutional portal, supplemented by parliamentary session proceedings, committee activities, conferences (eight cycles to date), and a research publications division. Key outputs include the Arab Parliament Magazine, annual reports covering political, economic, social, and human rights conditions in the Arab world, model/advisory laws (Arab Youth Document, Water Security Document, Environmental Protection, Human Rights Charters), and strategic vision papers on counter-terrorism, refugees, climate change, and regional stability. In 2021, it launched the Arab Center for Counter-Terrorism and Combating Extremist Ideology as a specialized sub-brand, and has initiated a digital transformation plan for parliamentary services. The website's design and development was credited to the Egyptian Parliament ICT team under a 2021 cooperation protocol.

Distribution and engagement occur through six primary channels: the official website, press releases via its Media Center, conferences of Arab Parliament speakers and council heads, published annual/thematic reports, a video channel, and direct committee/session meetings. The Parliament leverages the Arab League's diplomatic network across 22 member states to distribute statements, model laws, and reports, and maintains links with international parliamentary bodies including the Inter-Parliamentary Union, European Parliament, and Pan-African Parliament. Marketing is informational and institutional rather than commercial, targeting member state parliaments, Arab publics, and international stakeholders.
