Article 98 : Continued applicability of existing laws

FedLeb.org 01/01/2016
  1. Laws in force before the Federal Parliament first convenes shall remain in force insofar as they do not conflict with this Basic Law.
  2. Subject to all rights and objections of interested parties, treaties concluded by the Republic of Lebanon shall remain in force, provided they are not in conflict with this Basic Law.
  3. Unless otherwise cancelled, existing laws will be allocated between Federal and/or cantonal Governments.
  4. For legacy laws (including the previous constitutional texts and its preamble) to become Federal law, Federal Parliamentarian approval is needed as well as approval by all four (4) cantonal Parliaments. Absent such general approval, the text will be cancelled.
  5. Each cantonal Parliament shall make the legislative effort to integrate the legacy legislation into its own legislative framework and/or reject whatever is not acceptable to it.
