National Command of the Ba'ath Party

The National Command of the Ba'ath Party was the central leadership body responsible for guiding the party's ideological, political, and organizational policies across its member countries. It made key decisions, set strategic directions, and coordinated efforts in line with the party’s goals of Arab unity, socialism, and national independence. Acting as the highest authority within the party structure, it influenced governmental policies and political actions, particularly in countries like Iraq and Syria, where Ba'athist regimes were in power. The National Command thus served as the core leadership entity that directed the party’s activities at a regional and national level.
