| Abstract | ||
| The main reason behind the foundation of League of Arab States in 1945 was not only to strengthen the relationships and connections between the Arab countries, but to promote the mechanisms of Arab action between and among these countries hoping to elevate and improve the living realities of Arab people, on one hand, and to establish an Arab regional organization that has an Arabic identity, whose aim is to face the internal and external challenges that confront those states, on the other . Since its foundation till the present time, one can detect a great gap between its aims and the reality which is most of the time disappointing to the Arab people. In other words, there is a great difference between the theory and its application. This is a constructive defect the League of Arab States undergoes since its foundation to the present. This defect comes as a result to the existence of conflicting political wills embodied by some countries which have promoted the local affiliation on the expense of the national. This is negatively reflected on the performance of the League and makes it accept the minimum achievement if there is any, and to acknowledge as a result the philosophy of the minimum of Arab action. This has resulted in having formal and popular voices that have asked for the necessity of reform. Many proposals of reform and improvement were presented right from the first years of its foundation till such meetings of the Arab Summit in Amman 2001, and Sharm Al Sheikh in 2003 and the calls for Arab states to present their proposals and future perspectives concerning the development of the institutions of Arab action. All these procedures have remained only theories without being translated into realistic and practical programs, the thing which proves the absence of and weakness of the Arab political wills which have accepted the negative reality as it is. As the research sheds light on the foundation of the League of Arab States , it traces the attempts of reforming its charter, discussing the reasons, limitations, and obstacles that face the proposals of its improvement and modernization. | ||
