Lebanese Uni and Civil Impact: Stability Tied to Citizen State
The article discusses a seminar organized by the Holy Spirit University – Kaslik in collaboration with the Civil Impact Forum. The seminar addressed the concept of citizenship in the Lebanese constitution, where speakers emphasized that citizenship is not only a legal relationship but a vibrant constitutional one based on rights, belonging, and responsibility between the individual and the state. The speakers highlighted the practice crisis in Lebanon, such as sectarian quotas and clientelism, which have led to a loss of efficiency and integrity, a deterioration in the application of the principle of equality, and the resulting corruption and misappropriation of public funds. They stressed the need to build a citizenship-based state that guarantees the rights and dignity of citizens, and to implement policies that strengthen institutions and expand national representation. The call was made for reforms including electoral laws, judicial independence, and the establishment of practical frameworks to achieve justice and equality, ensuring the effective practice of citizenship that upholds justice and dignity for all.
