Analysis
Lebanon's domestic laws and policies do not fully adhere to international standards regarding revocation of refugee status. While Article 29 of the 1962 Law on Entry and Exit grants the committee the power to refuse, cancel, or limit asylum at any time, it does not explicitly outline grounds for such decisions.
