Sierra Leone recommended to the Government of Lebanon to strengthen the implementation of the national plan of action to prevent and address the involvement of children in armed violence, amend the nationality law to allow women to transfer their nationality to their children and abolish the kafala system and include domestic workers in their labour laws among other things.
It should be noted that “the kafala” is monitoring or sponsorship mechanism established between migrant workers and their sponsors, or kafeel.
It is a system common in most Gulf States. By this system, the State grants permit to its citizens and companies to recruit or employ foreign labourers or migrant workers.
