League of Arab States

The League of Arab States is an organization of Arab states. It is similar to the [Organization of American States]?, or the [Organization for African Unity]?, in that its responsibilities are primarily political; all three organizations can be considered like regional versions of the United Nations.

It is quite disimilar from some other organizations, e.g. 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.
