Fecha
2024-03-05Resumen
Between 2022 and 2024, during the financial, economic, and political crises in Lebanon, relevant
United Nations agencies regularly met with the Ministry of Social Affairs of Lebanon to discuss
assistance work paths and progress achieved, with simultaneous interpretation (Arabic-English)
being provided. In one of those meetings, based on the Minister of Social Affairs’ request, the
interpreters were instructed to interpret the term “Refugee” in English, used by UN agency
representatives, into “Displaced” in Arabic, when speaking of Syrian nationals on Lebanese
territory.
