The Council of the Arab League met at Cairo from October 17 to 30, 1949, to consider the following agenda items: 1) Palestinian Arab refugees, 2) internationalization of Jerusalem, 3) coordination of Arab states' policy at the United Nations, 4) the possibility of unifying Arab passports, 5) a budget for 1950, and 6) such policy questions as might be raised during the course of the meeting. The policy question receiving most discussion was an Egyptian proposal for an Arab League collective security pact. Such a pact was agreed to in principle and a committee of legal and military experts was assigned the drafting of the details of the pact for consideration by the Council or its political committee.
