Lebanon Ten Years After Taef, Beyrouth : Liban (2001)

Lebanon: Is the Consociational system reformable ?

Elizabeth Picard 1

(14/06/2001)

Ten years after the adoption of a new constitutional text, none of the major questions raised by the war have been resolved: neither the guilt of the militia leaders and their amnesty, nor the issue of missing and displaced persons, still less the axial choices for the country's reconstruction and its regional positioning. It is clear and obvious that the principles of Taef and their unfinished implementation have failed to bestow a consensual foundation onto Lebanese national life and that the latter is shattered by deep divisions. While considering the political system, its working and effects on the social sphere, though no ready cure for the pains the country is suffering is yet at hand, it is important at least to get down to identifying the pitfalls threatening it and to locating the windows of opportunity which may help it to overcome a decade of crisis.
