The Arabic–African Union Treaty was signed on 13 August 1984 between King Hassan II of Morocco and Muammar Gaddafi of Libya. It was approved by Moroccan voters in a referendum on 31 August, and by the Libyan General People's Congress.[1] The aim was to establish a "union of states" between the two, and eventually to create a "Great Arab Maghreb".[1]
The treaty startled the administration of US president Ronald Reagan, and eventually led to the establishment of the African Union in 2002.
