  • The challenges regarding the protection and education on the rights of children : an overview of the situation of the child within the legal and practical compliance in Lebanon 
    Zammar, Rebecca (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2020)
    Children in Lebanon suffer desecrations of their rights because governments fail to enforce laws and regulations and to generate the economic and social conditions essential for a better living situation for children.

    A growing number of Lebanese inmates are incarcerated in congested and poorly maintained prisons. Poor imprisonment conditions and ill-treatment of inmates are key factors catalyzing further social delinquencies and mental health deterioration among prisoners and released detainees. Away from being a rehabilitation period, the prison sentence is a chance for reform and correction, a time where inmates are granted the education, mental and emotional support to come out as self-conscious and socially responsible individuals, ready to contribute to their surrounding communities. In this scope, the ...
