However, for some of the issues it was relevant to include more historic information. For example, exceptions to the timeframe were made for rigorous academic studies addressing the history of Palestinian exile in Lebanon and societal perceptions of Palestinians that were unlikely to rapidly change. Similarly, where more recent information was unavailable, we chose to include information produced by organisations before the beginning of the timeframe when it was clear that their mandate remained unchanged since. When a source based its affirmations on other sources, the original source was retrieved and used, with the exception of academic sources and inaccessible internal sources. All web sources were consulted between 30 June 2022 and 30 November 2022. Not all of the sources listed here have been consulted for each issue addressed in the report. Additional sources to those individually listed were consulted via database searches. This non-exhaustive list is intended to assist in further case-specific research. Anytime they were referenced in this report, a footnote was included. To find out more about an organisation, view the ‘About Us’ tab of a source’s website.
