In its headquarters in Amman, the Middle East Studies Center organized on June 8, 2011 a seminar titled Arab Uprising: Public Demands vs. Foreign Intervention. It was joined by academics and politicians from Jordan and abroad and directed by Jawad Al-Hamad, Director General of the MESC. The first section in the event discussed the "Public Demands of the Uprising: Beginnings and Results". Participants highlighted similar situations being demanded by the peoples of the different Arab countries demanding change; this is in addition to individual features for each case. Although the uprisings did not start with definite objectives targets and goals, the revolts managed to crystallize the popular demands clearly and quickly. It is significant to state that the revolts are not over yet. They are, rather, going through critical periods to achieve their demands and maintain their accomplishments. The second section of the seminar, "Arab Uprising Strategies without Foreign Intervention", explored the persistent originality of the vision, plans and mechanisms of the revolutions away from the International Criminal Court or the Security Council. There is a number of factors leading to the presence or absence of foreign intervention which was related to the speed and surprise of popular movements. Participants, recommended that the revolutions should be seen as constituting a foundation for the present and future state of the Arab world. Hence leaders and the popular grass root elements in the revolt must not allow Western countries to have any role or guardianship regarding these popular movements. The third section, "International Stance and Its Philosophy Towards the Uprising: Libya as a Model", emphasized the fact that the international community have been playing a central role in supporting Arab dictatorships over their nations, and that meant they were against the revolts from the outset. However when these major international powers realized the strength and determination of the Arab popular well, they soon changed their attitude by calling on the regimes to respond to peoples' demands.
