	'Gates of Hell' are Open in Iraq, Warns Arab League Chief
		CAIRO - Arab League chief Amr Mussa warned that the "gates of hell" had been opened in Iraq, as ministers from the pan-Arab grouping gathered for a meeting set to be dominated by the war-ravaged country.
		The draft also calls on the Arab League's 22 members to restore diplomatic relations with Iraq to the level they were at before last year's invasion "in order to bolster the political efforts being exerted by the interim Iraqi government".
		Arab ministers were also expected to discuss the Middle East conflict amid renewed Israeli threats to expel Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, as well as a UN Security Council demand for an end to foreign influence in Lebanon.

	Arab League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arab League resembles the Organization of American States, the Council of Europe, or the African Union, in that it has primarily political aims; one can regard each of these organizations as a regional version of the United Nations.
		The Arab League differs notably from some other regional organizations such as the European Union, in that it has not achieved any significant degree of regional integration and the organization itself has no direct relations with the citizens of its member states.
		In turn, the memberships of the smaller GCC and Arab Maghreb Union organizations are subsets of that of the Arab League.

	The Arab League Charter (Pact of the League of Arab States)
		The Arab League was formed in 1945, based on the resolutions of the Alexandria Protocol, to protect Arab interests, and in particular to obtain greater freedom from foreign rule and to prevent further development of Palestine as the Jewish national home under the British Mandate.
		The Arab League was instrumental in organizing Arab violations of UN General Assembly Resolution 181, and attempted to raise an army for conquest of the portion allotted to the Jews in Palestine, and, as declared by the League, for the purpose of "ridding that country of the Jews."
		The purpose of the League is to draw closer the relations between member States and co-ordinate their political activities with the aim of realizing a close collaboration between them, to safeguard their independence and sovereignty, and to consider in a general way the affairs and interests of the Arab countries.

		The testy press conference was a rare public airing of differences between Arab leaders, who usually try to keep their disagreements behind closed doors and show a unified face to the outside.
		That is particularly true with the Arab League, a body that is supposed to promote Arab unity but is often paralyzed by the barely papered-over disputes between its members.

	The Arab League and Iraq - Council on Foreign Relations
		The decision by the Arab League to empower its secretary-general, the former Egyptian foreign minister Amr Moussa, to organize a conference on national reconciliation in Iraq is being viewed with cautious optimism.
		Where previously the Arab League had been largely silent on post-Saddam Iraq, Moussa’s trip is seen as an indication that the Arab world is beginning to grapple with the implications of a democratic Iraq run by Shiites, a prospect viewed with concern by some of the Arab world’s governments.
		The League soon overtook its colonial foster parent, however, and by the end of the war in 1945, it was devoting most of its energies to preventing the foundation of a Jewish state in Palestine and to containing the influence of the West.

		While it is true that not all Arab League member states are genuinely independent, it is also true that they enjoy the requisite degree of independence that qualifies them to invoke "sovereignty", albeit more nominal than real, and to become members of the United Nations.
		The Arab League is also called upon to guarantee the preservation of the Arab character of the regional system, a difficult task while its member states continue to display more disunity than unity.
		The disappearance of the Arab League exposes the Arab Mashreq to fragmentation into small entities among which Israel, though not necessarily bigger in size, is bound to acquire the status of a superpower.

	Giving Voice to the Arab League: Who Failed?
		The Arab League is stigmatized and effectively ignored in the U.S. In a classic example of doublespeak, Ereli later added in regard to the League’s reaffirmation of its 2002 peace proposal, “I’m not speaking non-supportively of it.
		Dismissing Arab League efforts as “anachronistic” and demonstrating “inverted logic,” the Foreign Ministry spokesman attempted to divert any substantive media and political discussion or focus from the issue that is the core of the Arab-Israeli conflict: Israel’s occupation of Arab lands.
		For example, despite the League’s snub to the Jordanian normalization proposal, the March 24 editorial in Jordan’s Addustour saw the summit as a positive symbol of the united resolve of the Arab world in reconfirming the importance of the 2002 summit’s peace initiative.
