Press Release: A New Corridor of Justice—Accessible to All
In a landmark step toward inclusive public infrastructure, the Palace of Justice in Beirut has inaugurated a dedicated accessibility corridor for individuals with mobility challenges. This initiative, led by a coalition of NGOs, legal professionals, and government representatives, marks a significant shift in how justice is accessed—literally and symbolically.
The corridor features a thoughtfully designed ramp with safety rails, non-slip surfaces, and clear visual cues, ensuring that wheelchair users and others with mobility needs can enter the building with dignity and ease. The inauguration ceremony brought together advocates and officials who emphasized that accessibility is not a luxury, but a right.
This corridor is more than a physical structure—it’s a statement. It affirms that justice must be reachable by all, and that public institutions must reflect the values they uphold. We sincerely hope that other departments in different ministries will be inspired to follow this excellent step, making accessibility a standard across Lebanon’s public infrastructure.
We invite the public to suggest other locations where similar corridors are needed. Your voice can help shape a more inclusive Lebanon.
