Understanding the Execution Gap & Personhood Lens
Tom's case reveals three interconnected theoretical frameworks that explain how legal systems can weaponize ambiguity to deny rights.
Law 431/1995 Article 8 explicitly mandates equal treatment for all Conservatory employees. Yet for 32 years, this law has been systematically ignored. The Ministry of Labor admits the law applies but refuses to enforce it. This is not ambiguous law—this is deliberate non-execution.
Tom's case reveals how institutions weaponize legal ambiguity, how selective visibility creates legal invisibility, and how the failure to enforce law becomes a system of exclusion. These frameworks apply beyond Tom—they explain systemic failures in Lebanon's legal system.
