No property rights for Lebanon's refugees

Abu Umar is a humble man with relatively humble ambitions.

He says he does not aspire to much, just the right to own an apartment or a small store, something he can one day pass on to his children.

But his seemingly modest goal may never be realised, not necessarily because of financial constraints, but because the Lebanese government deems it illegal.

Abu Umar is a Palestinian refugee and amendments to a Lebanese property law in 2002 forbid the acquisition of real estate by non-Lebanese persons “who do not possess citizenship issued by a state recognised by Lebanon.”
