Arab Publishers` Association Elections Postponed
Decision No. (14)

Due to the approaching end of the tenth session of the Arab Publishers` Association, scheduled for the end of 2024, and in accordance with the legal procedures necessary for the convening of the General Assembly and the holding of the elections of the Board of Directors for the eleventh session, which is scheduled for 25/1/2025, which necessitated sending an invitation to all members of the Arab Publishers` Association, to attend the General Assembly and then elect and run, after the approval of the Board of Directors of the Association.
Presented to the thirty-two members of the Board of Directors entitled to vote, thirty-one members agreed to postpone the convening of the General Assembly and elections, and one member abstained from voting.
According to Article Twenty of the Basic Law of the Arab Publishers` Association, which stipulates that "in the event that the General Assembly cannot convene for compelling reasons, the mandate of the Council shall be extended for a period not exceeding six months, and for a similar period or periods, if these reasons remain in place."

In view of the political situation in the Arab world as a result of the brutal aggression waged by the Zionist enemy against our brothers in the States of Palestine and Lebanon, and in implementation of the decision of the Board of Directors, the General Assembly and the holding of elections are postponed for six months, after the Council considered that the conditions of the Arab nation are not favourable at the present time.
