SECTION I

Palestinians in Lebanon and the PLO

ABBAS SHIBLAK

Shaml: Palestinian Diaspora and Refugee Centre Ramallah

This article highlights the two sometimes incompatible imperatives facing the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in Lebanon. The first aim of the organization has been to protect its role as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinians throughout their diaspora. This has sometimes required them to undertake actions detrimental to their second aim, which has been the protection of the Palestinian community in Lebanon. Tracing the development of Palestinian political organization in Lebanon from the rise of the Palestinian Revolutionary Movement in the 1960s to the triumph of Arafat's Fatah organization in 1971, the article goes on to critique the role played by the PLO in the Lebanese civil war and discusses how the Oslo peace process has affected the PLO's standing in Lebanon. The article ends with the key issues that must be addressed by any just and lasting settlement.
