Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee (LPDC), originally called the Lebanese Working Group on Palestinian Refugees, is an inter-ministerial government body formed in November 2005 by Lebanese Council of Ministers’ decision 41/2005. Its mission is to implement the policies of the Lebanese government towards Palestinian refugees in Lebanon . LPDC plays an important consultative role to the government , bringing expertise from various areas, in coordinating policies across ministries and making recommendations at the policy level. The LPDC is the interlocutor and focal point between the Palestinian refugees, Lebanese State institutions, ministries, Palestinian factions, Lebanese parties, civil society, United Nations partners and international and local stakeholders. It also coordinates work with UNRWA , the PLO , and Lebanese and Palestinian counterparts and civil society to achieve its mission. Under the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, the LPDC provides policy recommendations to the Government of Lebanon based on the national interest of the Lebanese people and the rights of Palestinian refugees to live in dignity and respect, until their right of return is realized. This strategic advantage enables LPDC to build consensus and address taboos over the Palestinian presence in Lebanon through facilitating dialogue.
