The Arab league: Joint defense council
Location: boswell 302
Established as a regional coalition between 6 Arab states in 1945, the Arab League has evolved and expanded to become a major regional organization of the Arab World. In 1990, Arab League states have gathered within their Joint Defense Council to discuss security threats that affect each nation within it. The main issue on the table? The impending Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Set two months before the fateful invasions, delegates will have the chance to debate the Gulf War, potentially change history, and discuss the role of foreign interventionism in the Middle East.
This committee is double delegation and a UNSC equivalent
