The Council of the League at the Summit Level is the highest decision-making body of the League of Arab States, bringing together heads of state and government of the League's 22 members. Created in its current institutionalized form by the 2000 Cairo Extraordinary Summit, which mandated annual ordinary sessions, the Council sets the League's strategic direction on issues ranging from inter-Arab conflicts to collective economic and security arrangements. Its decisions, taken by consensus in practice, have shaped landmark initiatives such as the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative and successive resolutions on Palestine, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen. The summit has, however, been hampered by deep intra-Arab divisions: the 2011 Arab Spring fractured consensus on Syria, whose membership was suspended until its readmission in 2023; the 2017–2021 Gulf rift between Qatar and the Quartet paralyzed coordination; and disagreements over normalization with Israel, relations with Iran and Turkey, and the war in Sudan continue to test cohesion. Today the Council confronts the Gaza war and its regional spillovers, reconstruction in Syria, Yemen and Libya, food and water security, and reforming the League's own decision-making to make its resolutions binding and enforceable.

Established in 1996 under the auspices of the League of Arab States, the Arab Council of Ministers of Justice coordinates legal cooperation among Arab states, harmonizes legislation, and oversees treaties such as the 1983 Riyadh Arab Agreement for Judicial Cooperation and the 2010 Arab Convention on Combating Cybercrime. The Council works closely with the Arab Center for Legal and Judicial Research in Beirut and complements the work of the Council of Ministers of the Interior on transnational criminal matters. Its agenda has expanded sharply as Arab states confront cybercrime, money laundering, terrorism financing, human trafficking and the legal dimensions of irregular migration. The Council has also been a forum for debating extradition practice, mutual legal assistance, accession to international conventions such as UNCAC, and the reform of personal status and counter-terrorism laws. Persistent tensions include balancing broad counter-terror definitions with human-rights obligations, divergent positions on the International Criminal Court, and uneven capacity across judiciaries from the Gulf to the Maghreb and the conflict-affected Mashreq.

The Council of Arab Ministers of the Interior (CAMI) was established in 1982 and is headquartered in Tunis, with its General Secretariat coordinating Arab cooperation on internal security, policing, civil protection and counter-terrorism. CAMI produced the 1998 Arab Convention for the Suppression of Terrorism and runs specialized bodies including the Arab Bureau for Criminal Police (the Arab equivalent of Interpol's regional coordination) and the Naif Arab University for Security Sciences in Riyadh. The Council's contemporary agenda is dominated by the regional fallout from conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Sudan: returning foreign fighters, weapons trafficking from Libyan and Yemeni stockpiles, drug flows—particularly captagon from the Levant—mixed migration across the Mediterranean and the Sahel, and the cyber dimension of organized crime. Member states also grapple with reconciling intensified security cooperation with human-rights commitments, particularly around the 1998 Convention's contested definitions of terrorism and the treatment of dissidents and refugees.

The Council of Arab Ministers of Foreign Affairs is the principal political organ of the League of Arab States between summits, meeting twice yearly in ordinary session at the League's Cairo headquarters and in extraordinary session as crises require. Operating under the 1945 League Pact, it prepares the agenda of the summit, issues resolutions on regional crises, and coordinates Arab positions in the UN General Assembly, the OIC and other multilateral forums. In recent years the Council has been the central venue for managing the Council's response to the war in Gaza and the wider Israeli–Palestinian conflict, the readmission of Syria to the League in May 2023, the war in Sudan since April 2023, the political stalemate in Libya, the conflict in Yemen, Lebanon's compounded crises, and relations with Iran and Turkey. Persistent fault lines—between states that have normalized with Israel and those that have not, between Gulf rivals, and between governments aligned with competing external powers—shape both the substance and the language of its resolutions, which are formally non-binding unless adopted unanimously.

The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the League of Arab States was created under Article 4 of the 1945 Pact and reorganized in 1977. It oversees Arab economic integration, including the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA), launched in 1997 and largely operational by 2005, as well as social, labor, health and environmental cooperation. It coordinates with specialized agencies such as the Arab Monetary Fund, the Arab Labour Organization and the Council of Arab Economic Unity. Progress toward an Arab Customs Union and an Arab Common Market has lagged behind original timetables, while the region faces compounding shocks: post-pandemic debt stress in Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan and Lebanon; food and energy price volatility tied to the Russia–Ukraine war; climate-driven water scarcity; and the reconstruction needs of Syria, Yemen, Libya, Sudan and Gaza, estimated by international agencies in the hundreds of billions of dollars. ECOSOC is also pressed to advance youth employment, women's economic participation, digital transformation and green transition financing in an environment of widely divergent member-state capacities, from high-income Gulf economies to least-developed countries such as Somalia, Yemen and the Comoros.

The Arab Council for Childhood and Development (ACCD) was established in 1987 in Cairo on the initiative of Prince Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, with consultative status to the League of Arab States, ECOSOC and UNICEF. It promotes Arab cooperation on early childhood development, child protection, education, health and the rights of children with disabilities, and supports the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which all Arab states are party, alongside regional instruments such as the 1983 Arab Charter on the Rights of the Child and the 2004 updated Arab Charter on Human Rights. The Council's agenda has been reshaped by armed conflict and displacement: UN data indicate that children in Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, Syria and Iraq face among the highest risks of grave violations globally, while learning losses from conflict and COVID-19 affect tens of millions of Arab children. Cross-cutting priorities include child marriage, child labor, online safety, mental health, malnutrition in conflict zones, and inclusion of refugee and stateless children, with persistent gaps between Gulf states' well-funded child welfare systems and the deteriorating services in fragile and conflict-affected states.

This junior-track simulation mirrors the Council of the League of Arab States at the Summit Level, where heads of state and government of the League's 22 members set the political direction of inter-Arab cooperation. Institutionalized in its annual form by the 2000 Cairo Extraordinary Summit, the Council has been the highest forum for landmark decisions including the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, successive resolutions on Palestine, and responses to the wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Sudan. For younger delegates, the Council provides a vantage point on the core dilemmas of Arab regional order: how to reconcile sovereignty with collective action, how to respond to humanitarian crises in member states, and how to position the Arab world between major powers including the United States, China and the European Union. Current files likely to anchor debate include Gaza and the wider Palestinian question, reconstruction and stabilization in conflict-affected member states, food and water security, youth unemployment, and reform of the League's own working methods so that resolutions translate more reliably into action.
