Lebanon’s Administrative Judiciary and its Implication on the Country’s Rule of Law

What is administrative jurisdiction and why is it important for a country?

Countries in the MENA region currently lack thorough and stable administrative judiciary systems, which in turn reinforces the people’s lack of confidence towards it.

Covid-19 in Nahost und Nordafrika

Belastungsprobe für eine instabile Region

Die globale Ausbreitung des neuartigen Coronavirus wird für den Nahen Osten und Nordafrika zu einer zusätzlichen Belastungsprobe. Vielerorts bestimmten politische und wirtschaftliche Krisen bereits den Alltag, sind staatliche Strukturen und Legitimität nur schwach ausgeprägt. In den fortwährenden Transformationsprozessen der Region könnte die Pandemie als Katalysator wirken. Die Corona-Krise wirft damit nicht nur Fragen zur Krisenreaktions- und Widerstandsfähigkeit der betroffenen Staaten und ihre Gesundheitssystemen auf, sondern auch zu den politischen und sozioökonomischen Folgen in einer Region, deren Entwicklung immer auch Folgen für Europa nach sich zieht.

Translated Decisions of the German Federal Constitutional Court into Arabic

The Federal Constitutional Court of Germany has been inaugurated on September 28, 1951, in order to prevent every misfeasance of the constitution. Through the German Basic Law (Grundgesetz), which has been in force since 1949, fundamental rights are guaranteed to individuals, some to all human beings, some to citizens of Germany only. Their interpretation and enforcement by the Federal Constitutional Court has been of utmost significance in turning Basic Law from a technical instrument into an identity shaping national document.
