Foreign Policy
Lebanon's foreign policy is constrained by its internal divisions, particularly between pro-Western factions and the Iran-allied Hezbollah bloc. The country officially pursues a policy of 'dissociation' from regional conflicts, though Hezbollah's involvement in Syria and confrontations with Israel undermine this. Lebanon relies heavily on international donors (France, Gulf states, the U.S.) and UNIFIL's presence along the southern border. The refugee crisis dominates its humanitarian diplomacy.

MUN Delegate Guide
As Lebanon, emphasize your country's pluralism, cultural heritage, and the burden of hosting a disproportionate refugee population. Call for international responsibility-sharing on refugees and reconstruction aid.
Navigate carefully between the Arab Group and Western allies. On Palestine and Israel, maintain the Arab consensus but avoid provocative stances given UNIFIL's role. Raise the economic crisis as an urgent humanitarian issue. Avoid being drawn into direct debates about Hezbollah -- frame sovereignty and territorial integrity as your priority. Seek French and Francophonie support on cultural and development issues.
