“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،...

Our work cannot be as...
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.

The Syrian conflict, now in its fourth year, has taken a heavy toll on Lebanon’s society.
Among those most affected are young men and women in refugee camps and marginalized communities. Young people are increasingly confronting violence and discrimination. They are missing out on education and work opportunities. The rising number of unemployed and disenfranchised youth in Lebanon could become a security risk for both Lebanese and refugee communities.
A society’s well-being relies on its youth, who can help revitalize the economy when education, health care and job opportunities are available...
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...
