The Palestinians in Lebanon: New Restrictions on Property Ownership

The Palestinians in Lebanon: New Restrictions on Property Ownership It is estimated that there are some 373,440 Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, comprising some 10 per cent of the total refugee population registered by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Despite the efforts of UNRWA in the health and educational fields their fate is, perhaps, the most uncertain and tragic of all the Palestinian refugees, considering the extent of their suffering, their deprivation of human rights, and the absence of any international, Arab or Palestinian body to care for them. This article investigates the new legal restrictions imposed on property-ownership by Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, which adds further to their miserable conditions. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Holy Land Studies Edinburgh University Press

Abstract

It is estimated that there are some 373,440 Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, comprising some 10 per cent of the total refugee population registered by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Despite the efforts of UNRWA in the health and educational fields their fate is, perhaps, the most uncertain and tragic of all the Palestinian refugees, considering the extent of their suffering, their deprivation of human rights, and the absence of any international, Arab or Palestinian body to care for them. This article investigates the new legal restrictions imposed on property-ownership by Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, which adds further to their miserable conditions.
