Following the historic Bandung Conference, held in Indonesia, in April 1955 the Asian Legal Consultative Committee (ALCC) was formed in November 1956 with India, Iraq, Japan, Egypt, Syria, Indonesia, Myanmar and Sri Lanka as the founding members. However, increasing participation from the Asian countries and joining of many African countries led to renaming the organization as Asian-African Legal Consultative Committee (AALCC) in 1958. In a meeting held at New Delhi headquarters the name was changed to Asian-African Legal Consultative Organization (AALCO).
Kuwaiti delegation to the event include Legal Department Councellor at the Foreign Ministry Saud Abdullah Al- Harabi apart from Hiba Al-Abdul Jaleel, Hanadi Hamad Al- Homadi, Khaled Al-Essa and Yousef Al-Failkawai from the Justice Ministry.
