The Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) is an international organization established in 2005 by the national parliaments of the countries of the Euro-Mediterranean region. It is the legal successor of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in the Mediterranean (CSCM), launched in the early 1990s.
The PAM was originally headquartered in Malta, in recognition of Malta's strategic role and commitment in organizing the PAM.[1][2] The current headquarters is located in Naples, Italy. PAM also has offices in the Republic of San Marino.
PAM also has Permanent Observers to the UN in Geneva, New York and Vienna, a Liaison Officer with UNSCO and UNIFIL in Jerusalem, and a Permanent Representation to LAS in Cairo.
