		The population of the Arab countries was 122 million in 1970 and reached nearly 307 million in 2004.
		The considerable population increase in the Arab countries is due to the inability of the demographic policies concerned with birth control and family planning and the decline of the death rate as a result of improved health and living standards.
		One of the other negative effects of the demographic dilemma in the Arab countries is the sharp increase in unemployment rate, especially that the youth represents a sizeable base of the Arab population, since those who are aged under 15 represent nearly 38% of the Arab countries population.

	What Happened to Arab Refugees from Israel
		Although 35,000 Arabs eventually returned under a family reunification plan, further implementation of the offer was suspended in the 1950's, after it became clear that the Arab states steadfastly refused to consider Israel's peace overtures, preferring instead to maintain a state of war with and economic boycott against Israel.
		Arab leaders argued that Paragraph Eleven of General Assembly Resolution 194 of December 1948 guaranteed the refugees the right to return to their homes, and that they could not participate in any scheme that might compromise such a right.
		Arab governments have made no attempt to assist their own people to resettle or integrate with their host countries, in marked contrast to the outcome for the Jewish refugees in Israel or, indeed, refugees in every other world trouble spot.

	Arab Inter-parliamentary Union
		The Constituent Conference of the Arab IPU was held in Damascus from 19 to 21 June 1974.
		Since its foundation in 1974, the Arab IPU was keen to effectively participate in the activities of the IPU, especially after acquiring the status of an observer at the IPU’s 61st Conference held in Tokyo in 1974.
		Based on the fact that the African and the Arab countries are linked by multi-sided relations (geographical, historical political, economic, cultural...etc), the Arab IPU’s Conferences and Councils stressed that dialogue with African Parliaments should be given priority among the Union’s activities on the regional levels.

	Globalisation and Arab economic integration
		Arab countries are in a great need to cooperate, build up trust and alliances with each others to achieve some synergy effects and to be able to create some economic balance in the global era.

		One of the most important issue for Arab countries to help its Arabic house to recover its health is to review their present conditions and problems with honesty and candor, as they proceed from their faltering present to a future fraught with challenges and opportunities.

	Arab Countries: Chances for Democracy Could Decrease (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Arab governments in key states such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan have been quietly cooperating with the United States in its preparations for war with Iraq—even as non-Arab countries in Europe and elsewhere have opposed America's plans.
		The vast majority in all six countries said they did not believe America was motivated by a desire to pursue democracy in the Middle East or to promote peace or economic development in the region.
		And in some countries, like Britain, the opinions of the majority are vastly different from their leaders'—as they are in some Arab countries.

	The Forced Migration of Jews From Arab Countries and Peace
		The displacement of 850.000 Jews from Arab countries, the loss of all their assets and property, and the hardships accompanying their migration and emigration to Israel, constitute an aspect of the Middle East refugee problem which has been neglected.
		As almost half of the Jewish citizens of Israel, together with their descendants, are from Arab countries, peace research and future peace efforts should take this important part of the history of the conflict into account, and to address it, in all its complex aspects.
		The uprooted Jews from Arab countries in Israel feel that although the displacement of Palestinians is well documented and relatively well known, their own forced migration from Arab countries has been overlooked and this fact makes them rather intransigent toward a possible solution of the conflict that does not include their own heritage and history.

	[No title]
		Between the 1940s and 1980s, the Jews of Arab countries endured humiliation, discrimination, human rights abuses, organized persecution and expulsion by the governments of the countries of their origin.

		Looking at international, regional and local developments affecting Arab countries since the report was issued confirms that those challenges remain critically pertinent and may have become even graver, especially in the area of freedom.
