Re: The Arab LeagueMauritania feels that the UN is western centric and not understanding of very Islamic democratic processes and is not best equipped in being impartial. We would strongly request Libya allows a team of Mauritanian civil servants with democratic protocol experiences to allow democracy to be conducted the Islamic way and allowed to oversee the elections as a trusted impartial Muslim friendly nation.(Original post by missbanana21)
Libya welcomes the support but draws the attention that we are already receiving UN support with regard to political transition https://www.un.org/wcm/content/site/...n/africa/libya

Libya thanks Mauritania for the offer but would hope that if this were to go ahead that it would be the Arab League and not just 1 nation. We believe it is up to the Libyan people to decide if they want an Islamic or secular state(Original post by misterxninja)

Mauritania feels that the Arab League should be sending democratic enforcers to our Libyan brothers to make sure order is carried out during the elections and peace is maintained.
As missbanana says, UN support is already being sent, but if you wanted to draft this into a brief resolutiony type thing that the AL could vote on, i'd be happy to put it to vote.(Original post by missbanana21)

Re: The Arab League
Mauritania will once it gets time aside from its diplomatic and internal situation look to draft such a proposal as we feel the western world is impeding our Islamic fundamental traditions in how things for us and democracy works differently in Arab Africa. Mauritania feels this issue is definitive and that Libya supports and respects its traditions and continues to be a reputable name in the Arab League by complying with Islamic democratic defenders to prevent Western corruption spoiling the elections.

Re: The Arab League
UPDATE ON THE CONSTITUTION.
I've started it, but been unable to finish it so far. Hopefully done soon, im working on it as I type this.
EDIT- if you have any ideas etc feel free to suggest, but it will basically be along the lines of the proposals that set up the presidency system. -
Re: The Arab LeagueAnyone can propose a removal but it must receive a 50% or 70% majority vote. Haven't decided which yet, think we did 50% for syria and with activity remaining low 50% is probably better for now.(Original post by Lipvig)
What will be the rules for removing a nation? -
Re: The Arab LeagueI would go for 70%, 50% is too risk of East-West factions and alliance, expulsions.(Original post by Moleman1996)

Re: The Arab LeagueGot this so far.

-The President Nation has 2 votes in the Presidential Council, each deputy president nation has 1 vote

Votes of No Confidence
-In the event of a VoNC succeeding, the Deputy President nations may govern until the next scheduled election, or they may choose to hold an immediate election, relinquishing all power until/unless re-elected.
-A VoNC may not be called in a deputy president nation, however a statement of complaint may be issued to the President nation, who will have the power to organise an unscheduled election for said seat, allowing the current nation and others to stand. However the president may choose to ignore said statement and take no action.
Observer Nations
-Observer members may be admitted by the council or general assemby (see above, at presidents discretion).
