Historique

Lebanon is currently hosting an unprecedented number of refugees due to the Syrian crisis (about 1.1 million individuals for an estimated population of 5.9 million individuals). Recent surveys indicate increased tensions between host communities and Syrian Refugees. Those tensions are the result of the lack of security and justice services, and are aggravated by human rights violations committed by law enforcement institutions. UNDP Lebanon is operating to respond to the crisis impact through the implementation of a large programme targeting host communities.

UNDP community security and access to justice project (project) aims at improving basic security and justice services to host communities and Syrian refugees in a view to prevent and appease tensions at local level and improve trust into rule of law institutions. The project works on (i) developing and institutionalising basic state security and justice services to host communities in municipalities, particularly municipal police and legal aid; (ii) improving the coordination among state actors, as well as partnerships between formal and informal actors; (iii) addressing conditions of detention and social reintegration of prisoners; and (iv) developing capacities of national state institutions to understand and respond to local security, justice and human rights challenges.

The project has an important component on access to justice, both in communities and in prisons. The project will support the Ministry of Justice and justice institutions, including the Bar Association, to provide legal assistance in host communities, to both Syrian Refugees and vulnerable Lebanese. In addition, the project will support the establishment of the anti-torture committee of the National Human Rights Commission, in order to develop a people-based approach to justice in the country.

The project is requesting the services of a national consultant expert in access to justice to provide support on legal aid for certain activities.

Devoirs et responsabilités

The scope of work will include, but not be limited, to the following activities:

• Consultations with Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Bar associations of Beirut and Tripoli, UNHCR, UNRWA, national and international NGOs working on legal aid, and other relevant partners;
