Lebanon

Lebanon has been an ILO member state since 1948 and has ratified 50 ILO Conventions, including seven fundamental Conventions. Lebanon’s capital Beirut is home to the ILO Regional Office for the Arab States (ROAS), where it has been located since 1976. Political developments since 2007 have precluded the development of a Decent Work Country Programme. Due to the onset Syrian refugee crisis began in 2011, the country now plays host to the largest number of refugees per capita in the world. Since the ILO ROAS opened its doors in Lebanon the agency has worked with its tripartite to develop programmes to counter the effects of the Syrian and Palestinian refugee crises, combat child labour, govern migrant labour, enhance social dialogue as well as reform labour governance and social protection in the country.
