Lebanon complains to UN over wording of refugee report
None
BEIRUT- Lebanon's foreign ministry has expressed concerns to the country's top UN official that the international body is pressuring Beirut to naturalize the large refugee population that has found shelter in tiny Lebanon.
The foreign ministry on Friday cited an April UN report recommending that when "conditions are not conducive" to refugees returning home, host countries should examine offering them citizenship.
But this is a sensitive topic in Lebanon, where over one in four residents is a refugee.
