This report included an idea regarding the Information Database which is based on the Arabic Legal System. - It is the first Arabic Information Basic that was provided to the Committee of the Arabic Ministers of Justice and to the League of Arabic States. - It is also the first and only scientific Information Database. Eventually, the Kuwait Government discontinued this issue, but the Arabic Legal System still works as www.alenc.com, supported by the Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia. The decision to create the Arabic Legal Internet It is important to create the Arabic Legal System to cope with technological It is important to incorporate with scientific development to facilitate the use development. of legislation, legal systems and judicial decisions in every Arabic state. This user-friendly way helps to reach an ideal interest.

technical idea to explain how to create the Arabic Legal System. This idea could be mentioned in the next meeting of the committee. (Decision no. 313, R. 14, 30/11/1998). The decision of the Arabic Ministers of Justice that states: each country

should provide its findings in the information field and the system that is usable. Experts in information technology of the Arabic Ministries of Justice should make this attempt to explore the technical levels and practical proceedings required to start the Arabic Legal System. (Decision no. 334, R. 15, 25/11/1999). However, as yet there are no experts to take this issue forward!!! Hopefully that will happen soon!!! - The Technical Council should study the proposal of the editor of the Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia to examine the possibility to assist in the creation of an Information Database to the Arabic Legal System. A report about this study should be presented to the committee. (Part 2, of the decision no. 392, R. 16, 06/11/2000).

This league would then meet Mr. Mohamed Abu-Baker Ben-Younis. The committee

of the Arabic ministers of Justice confirmed this proposal to consider an Information Database attached to the Arabic Legal System. (Proposal of the Head of the Secretary General Office, Part (1), 20/12/2001).

The Commission of State The Presidents Office Date: 09/01/1979 In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

Dear Great Sir/ Mohamed Ben Younis It is my pleasure to recognize the Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia as a great work and developed thought, which incorporates all the active legislation in the Arabic countries. This work took an innovative and special form that had never been before created in our world. It is hoped to facilitate every means of ensuring the continuance of this great work. This continuance helps to develop Arabic thought and shows that to work for the Arabic legislative system is a great aim that each person should strive to improve. It was my pleasure to be one of these persons who shared in the development of the Arabic legislative system. On the occasion of the publication of the first edition of this encyclopedia, it is my privilege to be grateful for this great work which Mr. Mohamed Ben Younis devised to improve our Arabic states. I also appreciate the contribution of our colleagues: Mr. Nasr El Din Kamel, Mr. Nabil Saiid and everyone who contributed with this great and wonderful work.

Dear Colleague, Mr. Mohamed Ben- Younis, From our review of the Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia, both current and future editions, we recognized that you applied and stated all the calls of the decisions of the Arabic Lawyers Unions to collect and update the active legislation in all of the Arabic countries. In fact, you and your colleagues undertook these decisions and promotions without fanfare and you have chosen a great form and strategy to provide this work. It is our pleasure to inform you that you are a great example for any person wishing to produce any work which will assist the development of the Arabic world. Although all of us know that Arabic circumstances and problems are extremely sensitive, you insisted on dealing with all of these issues and circumstances in order to reach your aim. It is our pleasure to announce to all the Arabic associations that you successfully completed the requirements of the decisions and promotions of the Ministers of Justice, and you created the Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia. We also asked these associations to co-operate with you on the examination of all Arabic legislation. This encyclopedia needs study, research, and review either for a particular country or for all Arabic countries. It is also the process that may create a relationship between Arabic legislation so that a unified Arabic legislation will be reached in each subject. We are very appreciative of the great work of yourself and your colleagues, for the great efforts towards this wonderful work. We anticipate that Allah will reward you as you try to help the Arabic nations. All the Peace and forgiveness of Allah for You, Zoher El Maidany 31

General secretary The Arabic Lawyers Union Cairo: 15/05/1983 Dear Sir/ Lawyers Representative, We are very appreciative of the decisions and promotion that were created in the Arabic Lawyers Union conferences. These decisions confirmed the first step is co-operation with all of the countries in the legislative field. The first step will be to review the application of the other promotions and decisions of the union to study and improve Arabic legislation as a step to wards the creation of unified Arabic legislation in all fields. This process encountered many problems and not all of the decisions and promotions could be applied easily nor reach an essential result. All of the attempts to apply this process were weak and were specific to particular laws and some Arabic countries because it was not possible to find all the legislation of all the Arabic countries. However, we are now pleased to announce that all of the decisions and promotions required to gather details of the Arabic legislation were applied and the result is the Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia. This encyclopedia includes all the active legislation in Arabic. It also includes the legislation in all fields and the Ministers decisions with their enactments. This encyclopedia is now available to everyone to buy and the work is ongoing. This great work has been completed over 20 years, it required hard work by its owner and editor, Mr. Mohamed Abu-Baker Ben-Younis (The Lawyer) who applied our, and the Arabic Leagues, promotions and decisions with the assistance of some professional colleagues and consultants in the legal field. We now call upon you to co-operate with the Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia in this process and to promote this great and wonderful Arabic work. The editor and owner of this work is so pleased to start this process with you and to provide all the legislation that you require, even which is about to be printed. Yours truly, Zoher El Maidany 32

An opinion only
The Impossible has Occurred If I, myself, had not reviewed this great work, I would not have believed it. I once wrought about the Pyramids of laws, decisions and regulations issued in Egypt in the last few years, which not only confused legislation and decisions, but also different punishments for a single crime. The reason for this huge number of confusing laws and decisions is that previously the law in Egypt took several years to be discussed and passed. However, now, the law takes only some hours to be approved. Sometimes, the government issue a law and then discuss it later. What I want to say here is not a joke. Many laws were approved and when an interpretation of these laws was required, the answer would be: wait till we issue the regulation. All these laws needed to be collected and divided but I thought that this task to be impossible. Two weeks ago, I met the legal consultant, Mr. Ahmed Samir Samy, the former Minister of Justice, and he explained that this work needs a special council to deal with it and that this process may take several years to complete. I also asked one of the highest consultants in the Supreme Court about the possibility of starting this process. He replied: it is the aim of every person working in the legal field in Egypt, but where is the person who can achieve this aim?. Subsequently, it was a great surprise when I truly found this person, who had begun and completed this impossible task or process. He collected all the different active legislation of Egypt such as constitutions, laws, decisions and regulations. There was no omission in any type of legislation up to the present day. I also discovered another thing that was another surprise to me, that is this process did not only cover the Egyptian legal system, but also

36

those of all the Arabic countries; 22 countries which are members of the Arabic League and, additionally, Mauritania and Somalia. It is barely to believe, and I think this great work deserves to be spoken about at great length; this will be for another day. Sallah Montaser

An opinion only
Legislative Revolution Beside any worthy work there is a great love for this work. No inventor, editor and scholar can achieve a great work without having a strong relationship with that work that encourages him to study or carryout research for. 18 years ago, in 1964, in Cairo, there was a Libyan citizen who gained a LL.B from the school of Law at Ain-Shams University. This Libyan citizen decided quietly to create a great work to be presented to the Arabic societies when they became unified; it should be noted that one year ago, there was a discussion about the possibility of Arabic unification. Mohamed Ben-Younis, for this is his name, admired a particular aim and thought. He realized that the Arabic nations speak a single language and each one of them has its own legislation, decisions and royal statements. This encouraged him to establish a great work and to start to collate all this Arabic legislation. After years of hard work, he physically provided to the world the biggest book in the world. Mohamed Ben-Younis lived in Cairo, working with 11 Egyptian specialists in the legal field. They started their mission after they visited all the Arabic countries and reviewed more than half million pieces of legislation. In addition, they read more than a million pages and copied more than 20.000 official statements. At the last court, the Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia consisted of 150 volumes (90.000 pages). It contains all the constitutions of the 22 Arabic countries, the active laws, systems, royal statements, orders, royal decisions, decisions of the committee of revolution and decisions of Ministers.

38

Moreover, this encyclopedia has a special divisions so that legislation is divided into 50 subjects such as, Nationality laws, Labor, Tax, Army, Civil Affairs.etc. It is a single effort that I can only describe it as a real Legislative Revolution. Finally, indeed, we have an Arabic unification of legislation. This revolution was brought about by a person and not a country. Sallah Montaser

The Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia

I have never before heard of a person who give all his time, effort and funds to create such a worthy scientific work as Mr. Mohamed Ben-Younis has done. Mr. Ben-Younis, the former Governor of Benghazi and lawyer who now lives in Cairo, spent all his funds to produce one great book that was shown in the Frankfurt International Gallery of Books and was confirmed as the Biggest Book in the World. In fact, it is the biggest encyclopedia to include all the active constitutions, laws and decisions of the Arabic countries which are members of the Arabic League. Although there are many promotions and requests to obtain this work, the Arabic League or any other Arabic government alone could not put together this work. However, there is one Arabic citizen who made this dream come true and his aim was to give the project his best assistance, in his specialist field, without any thought of financial reward or fame. Mr. Ben-Younis spent several years with specialists in the legislative system in Egypt collecting all the Arabic legislation. His aim was to present a single legal encyclopedia that could be a step towards unifying the Arabic legislation or towards creating harmony between the Arabic rules. Mr. BenYounis also realized that collating legislation offers a special chance to successfully study all of the legislation and to compare it as a step towards choosing the best one for our Arabic societies. Therefore, there will be a huge field of the comparative legal study and the Arabic legislature in each country will find ideal examples of different legislation relating to the requirement of everyday life. This unified and great work is not only essential for legal specialists but also to all the social, economical and political researchers in the Arabic world. This work, which Mr. Ben-Younis compiled, should be supported by all the Arabic governments and all legal researchers, and scholars in the world 40

should be made aware of its existence. Mr. Ben-Younis spent many years working in this encyclopedia and he never asked for assistance. He also never asked anyone to write about this great work, but I came to his great present by myself and I can see just how much he effort he put into it, which encouraged me to write these lines about him.

The Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia A huge cultural development that creates harmony in collating and categorising Arabic legislation.
In 1978, the Arabic legislation Encyclopedia started to appear and at the end of 1982 60 volumes of this work were presented. It is planned that there will be at least 120 volumes.

The most interesting and exciting thing is that this encyclopedia was the result of the sole efforts of Mr. Mohamed Ben-Younis and his colleague Mr. Nabil Saiid. Editing Difficulties

There was a strong support for this work not only because it is large and great but also because the team encountered many difficulties over several years. The first difficulty was the huge amount of legislation that needs to be collected and stated in a special form in this encyclopedia. This huge quantity of legislation has different attachments and enactments that increase the difficulty of stating them properly. Another difficulty is the division of legislation, which needs particular types of methodological, legislative, and simple division for all these laws and statements. The source of or the reason for these difficulties is not only the number of pieces of legislation but also the differences between legislation in Arabic countries. For example, some Arabic laws mix the rules of rent with civil law, whereas in other countries there are special laws for rent law. In addition, other countries consider both of the above two ways to form the law of rent. Moreover, there is a problem that relates to the absence or weakness of legislative technique within the legislation of Arabic countries; the reference of the legislation such as stating the date or place of issue was not stated and sometimes there was an enactment or attachment which had no clear reference. Finally, there was another difficulty which is the unorganized publication of the legislation or the official statement; there is a lack of publication pertaining to particular laws or statements. Editing Aims The main aim of this encyclopedia is to collect all the active Arabic legislation. It seems a simple aim but in fact it is not. In legal thought, this is an absolutely essential aim and needs string encouragement and support. The specialists in this encyclopedia stated this aim as a step and a condition to

43

creating other missions and goals. Then, they stated five goals, which are all related to the above main aim of gathering the legislation. The first goal is to complete the main aim of collection to support all the efforts to unify Arabic legislation. Recently, Arabic legislation has seemed different, strange and conflicts with the Arabic unification which is related to the Islamic civilization. This difference and contradiction, as the specialists in encyclopedias work thought, relates to many factors. The main factor is the influence of the European imperialism which provided a different legislation either because they were forced to obey their orders or there was an absence of legislative effort. Additionally, there was an economic and cultural contradiction between the Arabic countries; this contradiction negatively influenced the legislative form. Finally, there was an absence of any effort that aims to create legislative harmony or to reach a single legislation. Later, the person who called for Arabic unification recognized this risk that encourages to start thinking of legislative unification within the League of Arabic States and the Arabic Lawyers Union. However, thee result of all the efforts and missions was only some aims and proposals which makes the collection of legislation the main goal to support the unification. The second goal had a professional and acknowledged base. To collect legislation is a very important mission for the people who work in the legal field as well as being an essential scientific mission for all those people who study Arabic issues. The third goal relates to the legislative collection and development which may provide different solutions to the problems that confront the economic development administration such as the preparing of statistics or systems or ways of connecting the state institutions. The fourth goal relates to the attempts to avoid future legislative errors. To collate the legislation and to add enactments to them, enriches legislature with a relevant legal statement. The final goal relates to the legislative harmony between some institutions of the governmental body. There should be organized legislation in different fields to operate the state institutions. This harmony could be achieved if there is a proper collection and categorisation of the legislation. 44

Editing Status

Any book should have a particular status to determine its subject. In fact, when the mission is to create an encyclopedia, it will clearly be rather difficult. For the Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia, its status was determined by considering four basic dimensions. The first dimension could be called a subjective dimension and it relates to the type and the level of the legislative statements. The encyclopedias specialists arranged it to contain all the Arabic constitutions, laws, systems, royal statements, orders, royal decisions, decisions of the committee of revolution and the ministers decisions which organize legislative issue as well as including general and not individual rules. They are ministry decisions and some other higher legislation and statutes. The second dimension is a period dimension. This encyclopedia contains only the active legislation and its enactments, attachments and reference. This encyclopedia has its particular philosophy and aspects which make it different in its organizations and division of pages. In addition, the cover of the volume, it was always intended that one of the encyclopedias features would be to make it simple and dynamic to add new legislation. Therefore, each volume provides proper and organized legislation, and makes direct reference to other subjects in other volumes. The third dimension could be called the civilization and political dimension. This encyclopedia contains all the Arabic legislation of all the countries that are members of the Arabic League. The final dimension is the verbal dimension. This encyclopedia only contains Arabic legislation and this dimension was stated on the basis of the Mauritanian and Somalia legislation. In the former country all legislation is issued in French language, but in the latter country, legislation was 45

previously issued in Italian or English language and nowadays in Somali. However, these different languages conflict with this Arabic Encyclopedia, therefore the legislation that is used by the above two countries is only that in Arabic until such time as all the legislation is passed in Arabic. The Categorisation System

Any encyclopedia should have particular subjects and a system to divide these subjects, therefore a subjective and useful system needs to be created. In this encyclopedia the division system is operate at four levels. The first level is the subjective general division which is controlled by two rules; the alphabetical rule which is used in the Arabic Encyclopedia and the subjective rule, which is used in the new European encyclopedia. Thus, there are 50 subjects in the Arabic encyclopedia and the first volume starts with alphabetical form such as Archeology, Foreigners then Procedures which all follow Arabic alphabetical order. The last volumes end with Ministers and Councils. The second level is the subjective private division. The first division, which is the general one, is used in the entire encyclopedia but the other private one is used for each subject and volume. In addition, the rules of the second division are similar to the ones that control the general division (i.e. the alphabetical rule and the subjective rule). Each subject is categorised into sub-subjects, which are also take alphabetical order. For example, the first subject is Archeology and it is categorized into sub-subjects such as the law of archeology, searches, visiting archeological sites, and ancient constructions. The third level could be called characteristic division, which is the one that co-operates with the level of the legislative rule. In each subject there is an organization for the legislative rules depending on its date of issue. In other words, it starts from the highest legislative level down to the lowest level, determined by the encyclopedia itself.

46

The final division is the historical division which is the lowest level, and it takes the same form as the third level. Legislation is organized on the basis of its date of issue. The Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia is a great work which needs special gratitude and support from all the Arabic institutions and organizations and especially from the League of Arabic States.

The Biggest Encyclopedia in the World

Guinness World Records is a famous and only international institution that sets out records after doing some research and investigations into any item to prove that it is unique and has not been done before by anyone else. The Guinness World Records includes different records that researchers, scientists or ordinary people have set famous or crazy work in any field. For example, some one ate a live snake, cooked the biggest cake or has the longest moustache in the world. In fact, I cannot determine the proportion of Arabic people in this book, but it seems that it is not a big proportion. In Guinness World Records there is no difference between a famous scientific invention and any other work. It records any type of activity that reached the highest or lowest single score in a particular field. Thus, just as this book includes the name of the person who invented a particular type of medication, it also states the name of the criminal who committed the greatest number of murders in the world. Some people may be embarrassed at announcing such activities, but other acts need to be known as they help to develop our world, such a number that I found in London in the annual performance of Guinness World Records. This number related to a small Libyan village called El Ezizia which recorded the highest temperature in the world. However, to my surprise, the most interesting and exciting thing for me was to see that a particular Arabic institution gained a high and unique number in a field of knowledge for which Arabic people are not normally famous; the encyclopedia field. The main point is that no single Arabic government could provide an Arabic encyclopedia like the one that I saw. Now, as confirmed by Guinness World Records, the Arabic world has gained uniqueness in the field of encyclopedias. Thanks to the Arabic Legislation Encyclopedia collated by a legal person, Mr. Mohamed Ben Younis, judge, lawyer and former Minister, who left all his work even as a lecturer in the Libyan university to edit the biggest encyclopedia in the world. So far, this encyclopedia includes 200 volumes (more than 164.000 pages) and contains all the

48

active Arabic legislation such as constitutions, laws, royal statements, decisions and regulations. Guinness World Records is the last international institution to recognize the importance and uniqueness of this great work. There have been many international institutions that confirmed and encouraged the creation of this work, such as the Union of Arabic lawyers and the League of Arabic States. In fact, work on an encyclopedia is not finite and cannot be completed. There are always new legal rules and laws that require review and division to issue new volumes to add to the old ones. As the editor and owner of this Arabic encyclopedia grows older (70 years old), he feels passionately about his great work, which he spent the most wonderful period working to develop, and he is ambitious to present it to his country in order to continue its development. This encyclopedia now confronts new advances and information revolution thus there is a need to make it available on the Internet. In this way, it will help researchers and specialists to achieve legal development in all fields. This is a new mission that requires very hard work. With todays rapid advances, this work begun by just one person, needs to be taken up by a government. Is there anyone out there ready to take on such a challenge? Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim El Fekih

The Encyclopedia Aims

To collect all Arabic legislation and to state and categorize them in 50 subjects with particular index aims: To clarify the legislative case in a clear form in order to assist religious, legal and legislative researchers or actors to know whether the legislation and the Islamic rules are in harmony or conflict. To study and develop in a clear form the active legislation and systems to cope with the new development that the Arabic world is confronted with. To create a comparative Arabic knowledge to unify Arabic legislative thought either by its subject, identification or structure. By providing the active material to all researchers and Arabic students or specialists, this could be achieved. To be acquainted with the existing Arabic skill. This could be reached by acknowledging Arabic systems and legislation.
