Beyond a Seat in the United Nations: Palestine’s U.N. Membership and International Law by Martin Wählisch

The wooden desk and ocher-blue chairs are like any other of the interior from the 1950s, including the grey plastic headphones.

Events and experiences over the past years have confirmed that Lebanon is not a "country" in the legal and political context of the term but an "agreement" between 18 confessions to live on one land and find an appropriate framework (the state) to deal with their differences.
