This chapter opens with the conclusion of the UN Security Council attempt to produce a resolution to settle the Kuwait Crisis of 1961. The assumption of the Arab League for primary responsibility of overseeing the pacific settlement of the Kuwait Crisis occurred within the procedures of Article 52 of the UN Charter. Kuwait referred its complaint to the Arab League and Iraq followed suit. The narrative follows the protocols outlined in the Arab League Charter and the 1950 security agreement for handling security issues of and between members and the admission of new members (Kuwait). Debate within the Arab LeagueArab League mirrored that in the UN with Egypt (the United Arab Republic) assuming the lead to admit Kuwait, arrange a solution to replace British forces, and prevent an Iraqi annexation of Kuwait. Iraq opposed Kuwaiti membership and claimed the new state as Iraqi territory. The other members expressed quieter attitudes but tended to side with the Egyptian position. Morocco proposed a draft resolution that was amended by Tunisia permitting the Arab League to postpone the meeting for one week as each delegate returned home to consult with his government and return.
