He added that "the Arab Parliament is keen to activate the role of its Arab Center for Combating Terrorism and Extremist Ideology, through its engagement in numerous counterterrorism-related issues." He explained that "the issue of supporting and protecting victims of terrorism is a top priority in this field, stemming from the Arab Parliament's commitment to building the capacity of Arab parliamentarians in their dealings with victims of terrorism by providing them with the best existing practices that are compatible with the culture and specificities of Arab societies." He pointed out that "the Arab Center for Combating Terrorism and Extremist Ideology intends to prepare an Arab parliamentary guide to support and protect the rights of victims of terrorism. This guide will serve as a comprehensive reference for Arab parliaments, identifying best practices, legislative frameworks, and procedures necessary to support, protect, and compensate victims of terrorism." He explained that "the center intends to prepare this guide in cooperation with the Counter-Terrorism Department of the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States," calling on "the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism to be a third partner in preparing this guide."

He affirmed the UN Office's welcome of the Arab Parliament's proposals to support and promote the rights of victims of terrorism, explaining that these are "one of the most important topics of interest to the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism, in addition to the issue of artificial intelligence and its relationship to terrorism, and protecting youth from extremist ideology." According to the statement, Murad provided a brief overview of the significant efforts undertaken by the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism in a number of Arab countries through its training and capacity-building programs. Chris O'Donnell, Senior Official in the Office of the Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, also provided a brief overview of behavioral science, through which the Office aims not only to rehabilitate those returning from terrorism, but also to rehabilitate society to re-accept and reintegrate them.

Arab, African Parliament Leaders Call for Comprehensive South-South Cooperation
Rabat — Participating in the Third South-South Parliamentary Dialogue Forum on April 28-29 in Rabat, Arab delegation heads stressed the vital importance of comprehensive cooperation among Southern nations to address current global challenges. During the 'Presidents' Summit' held Monday at Morocco's House of Councillors, these regional leaders conveyed their awareness that coordination between Southern nations — particularly through their parliaments and legislative councils — is essential for overcoming multiple challenges and resolving various economic issues. No longer optional, but urgent The leaders were unanimous in their view that South-South cooperation has become a necessity given contemporary challenges related to climate change, security crises, economic difficulties, and advanced technologies affecting the world. Representatives from Bahrain, UAE, Jordan, Egypt, and Qatar stressed that 'cooperation between Southern countries is no longer an option, but an urgent necessity in light of numerous global challenges.' They also said that 'climate change and growing conflicts require unifying efforts and establishing strategic partnerships based on dialogue and constructive cooperation.' Potential for global economic power Arab Parliament President Mohammed Ahmed Al-Yamahi offered a particularly comprehensive vision of South-South cooperation. 'Southern countries possess natural resources and human capabilities that qualify them to be among the world's strong economic powers and an influential voice in the global system,' Al-Yamahi said. 'However, they need optimal utilization of those resources and capabilities, and addressing challenges related to diverse economic systems to achieve regional integration and economic complementarity.' He pointed out parliamentary economic diplomacy's importance through dialogue platforms like this forum. He described the forum as 'an open platform to exchange experiences and expertise and explore ways to enhance strategic partnerships between Africa, Asia, the Arab world, and Latin America.'

'It is time to establish joint cooperation between Southern countries to implement projects concerning regional infrastructure to contribute to enhancing intra-trade movement and strengthening cooperation in health, education, food security, and other areas that form the basis of sustainable development,' he stressed. Al-Yamahi further called for 'employing modern technology and artificial intelligence to transition to a digital economy,' noting that 'accelerating transformations in the global economy and worldwide trade wars impose on Southern countries the need to take serious and rapid steps to achieve economic integration based on mutual interests and win-win formulas.' Redefining development strategies Other speakers echoed these sentiments, emphasizing that 'Southern countries need to reformulate their development strategies and adopt flexibility to be competitive actors amid international transformation data.' They called for cooperation 'to influence the international and regional environment while establishing partnerships in a world where visions, challenges, and opportunities intersect.' The forum proved to be a platform for exchanging expertise and addressing challenges, and a historic opportunity to establish South-South dialogue and redefine the concept of cooperation between participating countries. Participants focused on the role of parliaments in forging laws that represent the people. They recalled that 'parliaments are the voice of peoples, a guarantee of stability, and the engine of political, economic, and social integration for their countries.'

Arab Parliament: Peace Requires Justice for Palestine
By Ahmad El-Assasy President of the Arab Parliament, Mohamed bin Ahmed Al-Yamahi, stressed that peace and stability in the Middle East cannot be achieved without a comprehensive and just resolution to the Palestinian issue — specifically through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative. Al-Yamahi made the remarks during the opening of the Arab Parliament's plenary session, held Monday in Baghdad, hosted by the Iraqi Council of Representatives and attended by Dr Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani, Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament. He warned of the grave consequences of the ongoing genocide being waged by the 'occupying entity' against the Palestinian people, denouncing the international community's continued silence as equally heinous as the crimes themselves. Al-Yamahi praised Iraq's hosting of the session and the upcoming Arab Summit in Baghdad, stating that these events symbolise the country's regained leadership role within the Arab system and reflect the security and stability achieved through the sacrifices of the Iraqi people from all walks of life. Addressing the broader challenges in the region, he warned that ongoing crises in several Arab countries continue to deplete national resources and exacerbate the region's struggles. He called for genuine Arab-led solutions, affirming the Arab Parliament's readiness to engage through parliamentary diplomacy. Al-Yamahi also urged accelerated action towards completing key Arab economic integration projects, describing economic and development challenges as equally critical as security and political threats — particularly in light of global trade wars and their impact on Arab economies. He expressed confidence in the upcoming Arab Summit scheduled for May in Baghdad, expressing hope that it would offer a clear roadmap for resolving ongoing Arab crises and advancing economic cooperation. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
