The following report highlights Lebanon’s improvements and setbacks in the most pressing human rights issues throughout 2015. The Lebanese government has shown willingness to comply with certain human rights matters, however it clearly lacks capacity and funds to improve legislation, enforce laws, and report to United Nations (UN) mechanisms properly. With regard to human rights issues such as torture, refugees and asylum seekers, discrimination, and inequality of women, the political will is absent.
