Assets and Interests Declarations

Overview

Certain categories of public officials are subject to the obligation to declare in writing all assets and interests belonging to them, their spouses and their minor children in Lebanon and abroad. According to the law, asset and interest declaration is one of the requirements for a candidate to assume and maintain a public position and be entitled to and receive salaries, compensations, and other financial rights.

 

While asset and interest declaration is a purely confidential process, its confidentiality will be overridden before the National Anti-Corruption Commission in all cases, and before the competent judiciary in the context of prosecution, investigation or trial.

Functions of the NACC

• Receive the declaration forms

 

All public officials subject to declaration submit their declaration forms to the NACC against receipts. The President and members of the NACC submit their declarations to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, and theirs are published on the NACC official website.

 

• Store the declaration forms

The declaration forms are currently kept at the Banque du Liban, provided that they are transferred to the NACC as soon as the necessary means are available to store them duly and securely in physical and electronic records.

 

• Follow-up and manage the declaration mechanism

 

     • Issue a circular, through the department with which the public officials who are subject to declaration are affiliated, within a period of one month from the date of publication of the Asset and Interest Declaration Law, requesting compliance with the provisions of said law.

      • Issue a circular during the first month of each year requesting compliance with the provisions of this law and indicating the declaration deadlines and legal consequences.

      • Notify all public officials who are subject to financial declaration but fail to submit their declaration forms within the legal deadlines. And simultaneously and immediately notify each of the departments to which these employees report, and the central financial accountant, or whoever is authorized to make disbursements, to pay all their financial entitlements. However, as soon as this notification takes place, the payment of salaries and other financial dues will stop immediately until the NACC authorizes the concerned bodies to resume payments. This is done after verifying that the required declaration form has been submitted in accordance with the rules and regulations specified by law.

 

 

• Validate the declaration forms

 

The confidentiality of declaration forms is disregarded before the NACC who is responsible for verifying the content of these forms, either in response to a complaint or routinely, (for example, to make sure that the closed envelope contains a declaration form). And it is up to the NACC to fact-check all the disclosed information.

 

 

• Amend the declaration form, if necessary

 

The NACC may, when necessary, amend the declaration form, including the financial values specified therein.

 

Declaration Mechanism

Am I a public official subject to asset and interest declaration?

 

The law adopts a broad definition of a public official that comprises any person who performs a public job or public service, including constitutional functions (such as the President of the Republic, ministers, and deputies), employees of ministries, public institutions, municipalities, and even private companies and institutions that manage public facilities. A person is deemed to be a public official, whether appointed or elected, permanent or temporary, paid or unpaid, a person of public law or private law, at both the central and decentralized levels.

 

 

In general, a public official is any person who performs work for the benefit of a public property, a public establishment, a public utility, a public institution, a public interest or a public fund, whether wholly or partly owned by a public legal person, and whether said work in undertaken de jure or de facto, including positions of constitutional authorities or any legislative, judicial, executive, administrative, military, financial, security or advisory position. Not all public officials are subject to assets and interests’ declaration.
