This report aims to provide a contextual understanding of migration governance in the Lebanese context, as well as its implications for refugees and migrants.

“الجهل بالقانون لا يُنهض عُذراً لأحد” يشير هذا المبدأ الجوهري في الممارسة المواطنية إلى ضرورة توعية المواطنين على قوانينهم وأهميتها وسبل التمتع بما توفره من حماية لهم ولحقوقهم. والمعرفة بالقانون تستدعي أيضا معرفة بالنظام المخوّل بتطبيقه وتنفيذه. التوعية القانونية عملية معقدة وواسعة وتتطلب تفاعل العديد من المؤسسات الوطنية كالمدرسة والجامعة ووسائل الإعلام ومنظمات المجتمع المدني… ولا نكشف سرّاً إذ نقول إن هذه التوعية لا تمارَس إلا بحدّها الأدنى في بلادنا، في حين يُمارس التعسف في تطبيق القانون، بل ويُنتهك القانون طولاً وعرضاً، بدون ضابط أو قيد. يحاول هذا الكتاب أن يساهم في عملية التوعية هذه،...

Lebanon has had an ambiguous approach to the more than one million Syrians seeking protection in the country since 2011. The country is neither party to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, nor does it have any national legislation dealing with refugees.

In May 2015, the Lebanese authorities instructed UNHCR to temporarily suspend registration of Syrian refugees, including individuals already in the country and new arrivals.

Lebanon does not have a civil code regulating personal status matters.

This report is this first of a three-part series focusing on the current status and lessons learned relating to transitional justice and policing initiatives in opposition-controlled Syria. • Part I focuses on the effects of the departure of judicial and security elements of the Syrian state has had on conditions on the ground currently and on the nascent justice institutions that have emerged in this void (including levels of institutionalisation, Islamic law, and the legal systems currently being debated and trialed in some areas). • Part II examines the variety of institutions and...

This paper examines the situation of impunity in Lebanon that has persisted since the 1975–1990 war. It highlights the price of the Lebanese authorities’ failure to address the legacy of past conflict. This study recommends a holistic approach to crafting a comprehensive and victim-centered transitional justice process in Lebanon. An incremental approach to reform would be of value, given the likely challenges to pursuing accountability in the country. Programming must involve state and nonstate actors—political and community leaders, civil society, and the broader public. In addition, human...
