Lebanon's centennial amid constitutional scrutiny

The article focuses on Lebanon's efforts to revive awareness of constitutional sensitivity and to restore sincerity in political practice through the exhibition "Between the Lines of the Constitution," which commemorates the centenary of Lebanon's constitutional establishment in 1926. The exhibition highlights the history of the constitution, which was drafted under French mandate, and illustrates the amendments it has undergone since independence, most notably the 1990 amendment incorporated into the Taif Agreement. The article also discusses the relationship between the constitutional text and political practice, warning against exceptional amendments that violate the constitution's provisions and political understandings that have not always been reflected in the constitutional texts, such as the "Troika" and the "Doha Agreement." The exhibition aims to educate Lebanese citizens, especially the younger generation, about their constitutional rights and the importance of respecting constitutional texts. It features original documents, simplified explanations of the texts, and emphasizes that the constitution guarantees rights related to freedom and belief. It also underscores that constitutional customs are not arbitrary and stresses the need to distinguish between customary practice and political practice.
