“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.

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