The Legal Fortress: Why Execution of My Rights Is Mandatory

Pillar 1: Law 431/1995 – Parity With Lebanese University

• Preamble and Article 3 bind Conservatory professors to Lebanese University First-Category professors in rank, salary, allowances, and retirement.
• No nationality condition, no “budget permitting” clause, no discretion.
• Once First-Category status is confirmed, parity is a statutory obligation.

Pillar 2: Decree 112/1959 – Civil Servants Law

• Defines First-Category rights: salary scale, pension, end-of-service, housing, transport, education, and health-related benefits.
• When Law 431/1995 places a professor on the First-Category track, Decree 112/1959 attaches automatically.
• Partial execution (choosing some rights, ignoring others) is still illegality.

 Pillar 3: Cassation Jurisprudence

• Key decisions (including 103/2023 and 45/2024) confirm Conservatory–Lebanese University parity and make retroactive compensation enforceable.
• These decisions lock the interpretation of Law 431/1995 for all ministries.
• Ignoring them is a breach of the principle of legality.

Pillar 4: Ministry of Labor Letter 1266/2015 – State Confession

• Official blue-ink letter acknowledging my First-Category classification in substance and the Conservatory’s non-execution.
• Proves the administration knew the legal status and obligations.
• From 2015 onward, non-execution is knowing, not accidental.

Pillar 5: Administrative-Law Principles

• Principle of legality: ministries must apply laws and binding court decisions as written.
• Continuity of the administration: new ministers inherit existing obligations.
• Duty to execute judgments and binding opinions: MoJ confirmation of First-Category status must be implemented by all relevant bodies.
• Non-retrogression and legitimate expectations: 31 years of First-Category service cannot be followed by denial of attached rights.

 Pillar 6: Chronology of Non-Execution

• 1994–1995: recruitment and start of service.
• 1995–2015: law in force, rights not executed.
• 2015: MoL 1266/2015 issued, then buried.
• 2015–today: continued underpayment, no pension registration, NSSF failure, currency-collapse exploitation.

From Legal Fortress to Mandatory Execution

• Law 431/1995 sets the mandate for full parity with Lebanese University First-Category professors.
• Decree 112/1959 defines the civil-servant consequences: salary scale, pension, allowances, and service rights.
• Cassation rulings confirm the interpretation and make retroactive compensation enforceable.
• MoL Letter 1266/2015 proves state awareness of the classification and the non-execution.
• Administrative-law principles compel execution across all ministries once status is confirmed by the Ministry of Justice.
