Towards Strengthening the Oversight Function of Arab Parliaments. Focus Group Meeting Beirut, Lebanon , 4/1/2010 - 4/2/2010
Organized by: Parliamentary Development Initiative in the Arab Region Based on the participants’ recommendations in the October 2009 regional meeting of the working group, PDIAR organized a Focus Group Meeting in Beirut on 1-2 April 2010 that brought together a number of experts from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, oPt, and Yemen.
The participants attempted to identify general principles that would assist parliamentarians in revising their parliament’s internal regulations, and reforming them, with the view towards strengthening the parliament’s oversight function.
The meeting also served to review the draft version of the newly commissioned Regional Comparative Study on the Oversight Role of Upper Houses in the Arab Region.
The identified general principles will be presented and discussed at a regional working group meeting that will be organized in June 2010.
The regional workshop will seek to build consensus among MPs and secretary generals representing most Arab parliaments on the general principles, and push towards the adoption of these principles.
