Constitutional Council suspends amnesty law
The Lebanese Constitutional Council issued Decision No. 10/2026 on September 10, 2026, ordering the suspension of the effect of Law No. 70/2026, the general amnesty law that grants a nationwide pardon and includes an exceptional reduction of certain penalties. The decision was made after a session led by Judge Tannous Meshleb and attended by the members, and was signed following a legal challenge filed against the law. It was officially communicated to the three presidents and published in the Official Gazette. The purpose of the decision is to temporarily nullify the law's impact and to link its validity to the Constitutional Court's review of the challenges filed against it.
