Attorney General of the Arab Union
The Attorney General of the Arab Union (Arabbic: النائب العام للاتحاد an-nāʾib al-ʿām) is the second seniormost position within the Ministry of Justice of the Arab Union, and the seniormost public prosecutor in the Arab legal system. The Attorney General is appointed by and answers directly to the Minister of Justice of the Arab Union. While the Minister of Justice is traditionally a lawyer with extensive prosecutorial experience and usually a previously serving Attorney General, the Minister of Justice himself occupies a primarily administrative role overseeing the Ministry of Justice as a whole, and thus the Attorney General is delegated the responsibility of being the highest representative of the state at the federal level in legal cases.
The equivalent office at the republican (governorate) level is the Solicitor General, who answers directly to the Deputy Minister of Justice of the respective republic.
