Arab Parliaments: Working Groups: Parliament and the Reform of Political Party Legislation
This working group was launched in March 2006, in an effort to bring together members of parliaments and experts to review and assess existing political party legislation in the Arab countries, recent proposals of political party reform and recently reformed party laws, and the role of parliaments in proposing and reforming party legislation.
This working group is intended as a forum to learn more about the national debates on political parties across the Arab region, more specifically the current debate on the regulatory mechanisms which structure the creation and functioning of political parties across the region. Members include MPs and experts from Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Palestine, in addition to resource persons from Egypt and Yemen.
The main objective is to support the consolidation of a regional network of parliamentarians (representing political parties) and experts who reflect together on means to accompany the reform and modernization of political parties and party systems in the Arab region. Networking and knowledge building opportunities will be facilitated by UNDP, through its parliamentary development initiative in the Arab region.
