Federal Law No. 28 of 2005 on Civil Status, as amended (Personal Status Law), regulates the following private matters: On 7 November 2021, Abu Dhabi, the largest of the seven emirates that make up the UAE, announced the adoption of a new civil status law for non-Muslim foreigners. The law pursues a series of legal reforms aimed at providing greater legal certainty to the country`s large foreign population. The novelty of the law lies in the fact that it combines aspects of substantive law and international family law. It is also important because it introduces civil marriage – albeit only for non-Muslim foreigners – into the country`s national family law. While the new legislation is generally welcomed as it can facilitate judicial proceedings and judicial proceedings, it also raises several questions, particularly with regard to the application of the law alongside Emirati conflict of laws rules.

The Lebanese Centre for Research on Emigration (LERC) at the University of Notre Dame (NDU) in Lebanon and the European Union Observatory for Democracy (EUDO) in Italy are pleased to announce the publication of a new report on the acquisition and loss of citizenship in Lebanon entitled Country Report: Lebanon. Lebanon`s citizenship regime reflects the lack of consensus on the country`s identity, which has plagued it since its inception as a nation-state. The inability to reach an agreement on what Lebanon is and who the Lebanese are can easily be understood given that the Basic Law governing Lebanese citizenship is still a decision of the French High Commissioner in 1925. All neighboring countries adopted new laws regulating citizenship after independence, but for Lebanon. The issue of citizenship is one of the main reasons for conflicts and obstacles in Lebanese politics. The purpose of this report is to provide a historical overview of the formation and development of Lebanese citizenship, a brief but in-depth review of its current regulations and a fairly comprehensive account of the areas in which today`s debate is devoted to these areas. Following the national political debate, the report focuses on the Lebanese citizenship policy for Palestinians in Lebanon, women`s civil rights and the reacquisition of citizenship by descendants of migrants. Seeking reliable information on the rules and policies of European citizenship is essential to guide public debates and inform policy-making. This data is not easily accessible.
By publishing this country profile with the EUDO CITIZENSHIP Observatory specification, the report and country profile become a reliable and relevant reference and online resource on the subject for researchers, policy makers, NGOs, INGOs, students and the interested public.
