No Lebanese may be deprived of his Nationality except if he is the holder of another nationality.
Any Lebanese can be deprived of his cantonal Citizenship under specific conditions set out in the cantonal laws. Dual cantonal citizenships are not permitted.
cantonal Authorities are responsible for deciding how and to whom Nationality and cantonal citizenship is granted.
Acknowledging the importance of demographics imbalances and its destabilizing impact on the federal construction and its viability, any action, law, decree, decision, behavior, or failure to act (including acceptance of refugees) shall be a direct breach of this Basic Law agreement and henceforth could result in the legitimate request by any canton to leave the Federation.
Any decision by any cantonal Authority to grant citizenship to or accept non-Lebanese populations (even under the “refugee” or migrant status) in ways that create or threaten to create demographic imbalances (i.e. populations that have at least one parent not from Lebanese descent) will result in the cantonal Authorities legal claim to (i) terminate this Basic Law contract early or (ii) take action to counter the effects of such action taken by this cantonal Authority or (iii) leave the Federation.
Loss of citizenship may occur only pursuant to a law.
No Lebanese may be extradited to a foreign country. The law may otherwise provide for extraditions to an international court or a given country, provided that (i) the rule of law is observed and (ii) the cantonal judicial authorities clear it.
