  • Palestinians in Lebanon
    Country Policy and Information Note Lebanon: Palestinians Version 1.0 June 2018 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the basis of claim section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis of COI; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Analysis This section analysises the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment on whether, in general: x A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm x A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) x A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory x Claims are likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and x If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. Decision makers must, however, still consider all claims on an individual basis, taking into account each case’s specific facts. Country of origin information The country information in this note has been carefully selected in accordance with the general principles of COI research as set out in the Common EU [European Union] Guidelines for Processing Country of Origin Information (COI), dated April 2008, and the Austrian Centre for Country of Origin and Asylum Research and Documentation’s (ACCORD), Researching Country Origin Information – Training Manual, 2013.

  • Guide for Descendants of Lebanese Origin to Claim the Lebanese Nationality
    Guide for Descendants of Lebanese Origin To Claim the Lebanese Nationality Issued by the Consulate General of Lebanon in Melbourne 2018 © Consulate General of Lebanon – Melbourne 2018 Page 2 of 12 Why this Guide? There are several factors that led to the loss of the Lebanese nationality to children of Lebanese origin, most important of which is the failure of some grandfathers to register their children, especially after they have been granted the Australian citizenship and integrated into the Australian society throughout generations, in addition to their lack of knowledge of the Arabic language due to the absence of Lebanese cultural institutions and schools in the country for a long time. The Consulate General of Lebanon in Melbourne prepared this guide for those of Lebanese origin to provide them with information about the procedures for registration to claim the Lebanese nationality and to facilitate the right for claiming this nationality to those who lost it because their migrant ancestors did not register officially at the Lebanese Embassy and Consulates in Australia. Lebanon gives great importance to encouraging descendants of Lebanese emigrants to register themselves and to claim their Lebanese nationality. Thus, Law No. 41 dated 24/11/2015 was implemented for this purpose, which facilitates these procedures by granting citizenship by decree to the descendant whose name or the name of any direct paternal ancestral/predecessors or next of kin to the second degree is clearly indicated in the records of the 1920-1921 census for residents and migrants at the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities and the Records of Emigration for the year 1932 census for migrants who neglected to claim Lebanese citizenship at the time, noting that the benefit of this law will be valid within ten years only from the date of issue.

To learn more about The Sentry’s funders, please visit The Sentry website at www.thesentry.org/about/. THE METAMORPHOSIS OF ALI KHALIL MERHI TheSentry.org Executive Summary When Lebanese businessman Ali Khalil Merhi fled Paraguay while awaiting his trial and crossed the border into Brazil in 2000, he escaped mounting scrutiny from authorities. Fresh off a stint in the notorious Tacumbu Penitentiary, Merhi faced piracy charges and suspicions of links to terror financing. At the time of Merhi’s flight from Paraguay, Argentinian prosecutors also wanted to question him about a deadly terrorist attack that had left 86 dead in Buenos Aires in 1994. Though the authorities initially investigated Merhi, the trail went cold and the investigation in Paraguay fal- tered. Meanwhile, Merhi moved on to new terrain. Within 20 years, he had obtained a new passport under the name Ali Khalil Myree, established more than a dozen new companies, and cultivated a new network of powerful government contacts—all in the world’s newest nation. The Sentry found that for more than a decade, the government of South Sudan has supported the Lebanese tycoon, granting him citizenship, lucrative contracts, and even the title of honorary consul.

  • Journeys in Palestine During the British Colonial Period
    Nicola Ziadeh was a professor of history at Journeys in the American University of Beirut. He was Palestine During born in 1907 and passed away in 2006. He authored a number of books and countless the British Colonial articles on the history and culture of Bilad Period al-Sham and the rest of the Arab world. When Nicola Ziadeh the editors of Jerusalem Quarterly visited Ziadeh at his home in Beirut in 2004 we were informed that he had just signed a contract for a book that he was planning to finish by his hundredth birthday. Unfortunately, he passed away one year short of that date. That project never materialized; however, this was another indication of how active he remained as he was approaching the end of his century- long life. The following are selections from the many autobiographical sketches Ziadeh wrote about his early years in Palestine. As a Palestinian who was born in Damascus, lived and died in Beirut, Ziadeh exemplified what it meant to be an authentic Levantine, though he made himself an authority on the North African Maghreb as well. He not only wrote about Arab voyagers, but was one himself, traveling widely across the entire Arab world, and beyond. Thus it seems appropriate to represent his memoirs with a piece about travel documents (a particularly Palestinian concern), another on the start of his legendary trek on foot across Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, and a third on his earliest motorcar trips. I. N. Three Passports, Four Travel Permits In 1916, when we left Damascus and returned to Nazareth after my father’s death, we did not need any travel documents, since the Villayet (district) of Damascus (al-Sham) Jerusalem Quarterly 51 [ 65 ] and the Villayet of Beirut (which included Nazareth) were both parts of the Ottoman state.
