of the Middle East. According to our Charter, the purpose
of MAL is "to further the understanding of Arabic peoples,
cultures and governments through competition and participation
in Model Arab League conferences and related activities."

learn the countries policies on a wide variety of political and
security issues, economic, social and humanitarian issues.
