The alliance with the lowest sense of existence in the world has a strong name but a low sense of existence, and has a pair of sworn enemies.

From the perspective of world history, since the emergence of international organizations, various political, economic and cultural international organizations have mushroomed, and now there are thousands of international organizations in the world. The most powerful international organizations are political alliance organizations, such as the European Union, the African Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It has a great influence in the world and has a strong sense of existence. The annual alliance summit is the focus of world attention. However, there are also some national alliances with a low sense of existence. The most typical national alliance is that there are many members, but there is no sense of existence in the world, and there are also a pair of sworn enemies.

This alliance is the Mediterranean Union, which is the largest national alliance organization in the world. It was established at the initiative of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy. 1995 put forward the idea of uniting Mediterranean countries to form a grand alliance group. It was not until July 13, 2008 that the Union for the Mediterranean was formally established at the first summit in Paris, France.

There are 39 countries in the Union for the Mediterranean, including 28 European Union countries, and countries in the Middle East and North Africa bordering the Mediterranean, including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Turkey and Malta. In terms of scale, it is the second largest alliance organization in the world besides the United Nations and the African Union.

The name of the whole organization is also very loud. The only alliance organization named after the ocean is named after the Mediterranean. Moreover, in terms of economic, political and military strength, it is simply an enhanced version of the European Union. The EU is already at the forefront of the world, and it is very strong. The enhanced version of the EU should be strengthened.

However, this so-called Mediterranean Union, since its establishment more than ten years ago, has a very low sense of existence in the world, not only far inferior to the European Union, but even inferior to the African Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. International organizations at the league level have rarely heard of the existence of the Union for the Mediterranean. Many people may not understand why such a powerful organization bigger than the European Union has such a low sense of existence. Actually, it's mainly three o'clock.

First, the organization is too loose.

The Union for the Mediterranean is the most unorganized international organization in the world, and it has no binding force on the management of its member countries. Therefore, it is not so much an alliance as a loose temporary alliance, which only meets a few times a year at most, so it cannot form a strong control.

Second, each has its own ghost.

In the Mediterranean Union, there are even a pair of sworn enemies, Israel and Palestine. These two countries are absolute sworn enemies. They have been at war for 70 years since the Second World War. It's blood and tears. The two countries are eager to do it at any time. There are various contradictions within this alliance, and it is difficult to reach an agreement.

First, there are contradictions between developed countries in the European Union and backward countries in North Africa and the Middle East, and no one wants to suffer. Second, the confrontation and religious contradictions between Arab countries and western countries are also inseparable; Third, the contradiction between Israel and the whole Arab Muslim countries ... So under these contradictions, this so-called Mediterranean Union is actually an alliance with different intentions, each thinking about its own interests, and it is strange that it can develop together.

Third, that is the purpose is not pure.

There was no need to establish a Mediterranean union with the European Union, but the French president had his own selfish interests. Because so many illegal immigrants in France have always brought terrorism and instability to France, and immigrants are basically from North Africa and the Middle East, this alliance is made to combat illegal immigrants.

Moreover, another reason is that Turkey and other countries have always wanted to join the EU, but the EU has been unwilling. Therefore, in order to appease these countries in Turkey and North Africa, a strengthened version of the EU was established as a transition. Therefore, in essence, the Union for the Mediterranean is a very virtual organization. Compared with the eu, there is basically no way to compare. As a result, the Mediterranean Union with a loud name and a low sense of existence was born. Until now, few people know about this organization.
