  abstract = {{A}fter the civil war (19751990), the {L}ebanese government adopted a new policy towards the informal settlements, which had sprawled in {B}eirut, especially in its southern suburbs, during the events. {T}he {P}rime minister team entered in negotiations with the {S}hiite parties {A}mal and {H}ezbollah, who were dominating this part of the town. {T}hese negotiations resulted in a huge project of onsite resettlement of most of the 80,000 irregular inhabitants of this area. {T}he elaboration of this project rest largely on legal practices, claims of rights and will of justice. {S}everal representations of the irregular settlements and their inhabitants were present in minds and the project was conceived with different, indeed contradictory, conceptions and interpretations of law, justice and rights. {C}ontradictions between these different conceptions led to a compromise project, difficult to be implemented and parts of which could be diversely interpreted. {E}ventually, the project hasn't be realised. {N}evertheless, its existence had other effects. {T}he agreement on the wording of a policy, in spite of its shadowy areas, created a common platform of ideas from which to cooperate, negotiate and manage deviations and contradictions from a point of agreement. {I}t calmed tensions, confirmed the property rights, encouraging private investments in the southern suburbs, allowed the state to intervene in the area and, finally, defined rights for the inhabitants who cannot be anymore evicted without compensations or resettlement.},
