This statement was made at the 31st session of the Human Rights Council (HRC), about the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) outcome of Lebanon. This statement has been prepared by the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, and its national partner organisation in Lebanon ABAAD. We recognise that Lebanon has been facing deep socio-political turmoil; yet, this is no justification for not adhering to its international obligations with respect to women’s rights.
