Appendices 5.1 Topic Guide The following topic guide is specifically regarding Palestinians as it is based on our terms of reference for the Country report, Lebanon: Stateless Palestinians but can be a useful case study. The guide adopts an intersectional approach to statelessness and aims to cover all the issues that may be relevant to a stateless person with status application. It will be a useful starting point for COI research undertaken for specific cases. Researchers should select and adapt the topics that are relevant to their research questions and the facts of the case, bearing in mind the guidance given in this handbook. Groups Based on their legal status and registration with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Palestinian refugees in Lebanon can be categorised into four groups: a. b. c. d. “Registered” refugees (“Palestine refugees”), which are registered with UNRWA and the Lebanese authorities; “Non-registered” Palestinian refugees, which are not registered with UNRWA, but are registered with the Lebanese authorities; “Non-ID” Palestinian refugees, who are neither registered with UNRWA nor with the Lebanese authorities; Palestine refugees from Syria entered Lebanon after 2011. © Asylos, 2023 Back to contents
