University to amnesty: legislative boundaries
In September, sessions of the Constitutional Court saw the issuance of several rulings concerning legal reviews of various laws, most notably the Lebanese University Law, pension circuit laws, and general amnesty. The court did not annul laws entirely; instead, it distinguished between the general rule and specific provisions related to transitional phases or individual cases. It reaffirmed that the authority to amend laws belongs to the legislature, and that constitutional oversight does not restrict Parliament’s freedom unless it exceeds the boundaries of equality and separation of powers. Additionally, the court temporarily suspended the implementation of the general amnesty law while awaiting a final decision, clarifying that this suspension is an procedural measure and not a final ruling on its constitutionality. These rulings highlight the limits of legislative power in amending laws and the challenges legal rules face under constitutional review.
