Constitution of Lebanon
Encyclopedia : C : CO : CON : Constitution of Lebanon
The Constitution of Lebanon was adopted on 23 May, 1926.
The most recent amending of the Constitution was for the Charter of Lebanese National Reconciliation (Ta'if Accord), in October, 1989.
The constitution describes the flag of Lebanon. The original version of Article 5 read "The Lebanese flag is blue, white, red with a cedar in the white part". A change made on 7 December, 1943 indicated that "The Lebanese flag is made of red, white and red horizontal stripes, with the cedar in green in the centre of the white stripe". Some flag manufacturers have created a more conventional looking tree, with a brown trunk. Some allege that this is unconstitutional. [link]
