The Majlis of the Arab League is the main decision-making body of the League of Arab States, bringing together member states to coordinate common political, economic, and security positions across the Arab region. It serves as a forum for dialogue and collective action on major regional issues such as conflicts, economic cooperation, regional stability, and development challenges. The Council operates on the principle of consensus, meaning that decisions are typically made through agreement rather than binding majority voting, which reflects the strong emphasis on national sovereignty within the Arab system.

Through the Majlis, member states attempt to promote Arab unity and develop coordinated responses to shared crises. However, differing national interests and political alignments often limit the speed and effectiveness of collective decisions. In the context of the “Velvet Collapse,” the Majlis highlights the growing strain on regional cohesion, where increasing fragmentation challenges the ability of Arab states to maintain unified positions in the face of escalating political, economic, and security pressures.
