ABSTRACT
This study provides an analysis of statelessness among people of
Lebanese descent in the northern governorate of Akkar. It starts
with an overview of the local context, shedding light on the level
of socioeconomic instability, which has been exacerbated by the
current global pandemic.
It also introduces the history of statelessness nationally, before
diving into the specificities of this issue in Akkar. The results are
viewed through a comparative lens, looking at the findings of a
previous study on statelessness in Tripoli.
This study on stateless persons of Lebanese origin residing in
Akkar relied on both quantitative surveys and insights from key
informant interviews, as well of qualitative information gathered
from extensive fieldwork. Lastly, the report includes a section on
policy recommendations.
