LAU Model Arab League (LAU MAL)

Running at LAU since 2011 in partnership with National Council on US Arab Relations (NCUSAR) and Hariri Foundation for Sustainable Human Development (HFSHD), MAL engages students from various religious and political backgrounds in Lebanon in social, political, and economic discussions that have and continue to define the future of the Arab World’s 22 member states. Student delegates work to achieve consensus on questions that diplomats face every day. They debate, form coalitions, draft and pass resolutions that seek to resolve some of the most pressing challenges that face Arab countries.
