In a roundtable held in Beirut on 5 October 2023, Lebanon witnessed a historic meeting of religious courts, legal experts, and civil society representatives in the Lebanese Parliament. Lebanese Religious Courts discussed challenges and gaps for inclusion of human rights in personal status law cases. The event was initiated through a collaborative project between the Lebanese Foundation for Permanent Civil Peace (LFPCP) and the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights (NCHR).

More than 100 participants gathered in Beirut, Lebanon, to discuss human rights standards in Lebanese personal status laws. The seminar were facilitated by the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights, together with Lebanese Foundation for Permanent Civil Peace (LFPCP), as a closing event of the six-months’ pilot project “Fostering Human Rights in Lebanese Religious Courts”. This is the first human rights related project working directly with the actors of the religious courts.
