Pardon in Barzakh: When Vacancy Acts as Judge
The article discusses the general amnesty law No. 70/2026 in Lebanon, focusing on the constitutional and procedural controversy surrounding it. It points out that the law is caught in disputes between political and judicial authorities, especially following the Constitutional Council's decision to suspend its effect due to the challenge regarding its unconstitutionality. The lack of a designated rapporteur for the appeal committee threatens the legality and procedural integrity of the law. It emphasizes that the law is not abolished but remains suspended, and this situation endangers the integrity of justice and the rights of detainees and the families of martyrs, as it leaves the fate of thousands of individuals unresolved and hampers the implementation of the amnesty. The article clarifies that delays in activating the necessary procedures reflect a political crisis and administrative errors. Reforms, it argues, require appointing members to the Constitutional Council and reviewing legislative texts to ensure prompt rulings and transparent decision-making. It warns that silence or hesitation threaten the stability of justice and the rule of law.
