Current Legal Topics: Lebanon: Constitutional Law and the Political Rights of Religious Communities

The Law Library of Congress is proud to present a new report, Lebanon: Constitutional Law and the Political Rights of Religious Communities.

Executive Summary
The Lebanese constitution of 1926, as amended, is still in force today.  Its main feature is the representation given to the various religious communities in public employment, the formation of government, and the selection of the legislature.  It guarantees basic individual rights and freedoms and provides for a parliamentary form of government.  The major amendments agreed to in 1989 shifted the balance of executive power from the Presidency of the Republic to the Council of Ministers.  In 2008 following a military operation undertaken by Hizbullah, an agreement among the main political parties was concluded in Doha.  This agreement reflected a de facto acknowledgement that no major decisions by the Lebanese government can be made without the consent of all major religious communities, no matter how large the majority supporting the government may be.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
