The League of Arab States (LAS) also known as the Arab League was founded in 1945 in Cairo at the tailend of the Second World War. The League was founded as a result of the ideology referred to as pan-arabism; by Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Iraq. As of now, the League is made up of 22 nations, where all 22 nations are defined as Arab states. Following the definition of pan-arabism, the LAS aims to unite all Arab nations under one collective roof, in order to promote solidarity among members and protect one another's sovereignity. All member states follow the general goals of the League, as they aim to protect unity and demonstrate their aims by strong bilateral ties.

When making decisions, all nations vote together; however, the actions that come with the decisions are solely applied on the nations who vote in favor of those actions.​​

The LAS has gone through civil wars, revolutions and years of increased tension. Through the last 15 years, the LAS has gone through the Arab Spring, a series of revolutions in different countries causing the downfall of many nations and in some countries, and the rise of new governments formed by the people. However, the LAS endured through civil wars, and through the comradery of all 22 nations, most of the conflicts in member nations have slowed down or completely ended. Currently, the LAS has a future rebuilding as the effects of the Arab Spring slowly start to wear off, where all countries will have to come together in order to form a better future for all Arab States, the Middle East, and the entire planet.
