Former
Constitutional Council head Mallat dies,
Daily Star, 19 April 2010
BEIRUT: The former head of the Constitutional Council,
Wajdi Mallat, has passed away at the age of 90, following a life
dedicated to the law and public service.
Mallat headed the newly created Constitutional Council between 1994
and 1997, but resigned over his convictions the body wasn’t able to
halt meddling in parliamentary elections.
In a rare television interview, he commented his decision by saying
“the Constitutional Council came to Lebanon 25 years later before
its time.”
Originating from Baabda, Mallat was born on November 22, 1919 to a
leading Arab poet, Chibli Mallat, while his mother Marie Checrallah
came from a family of physicians. Another relative, Tamer Mallat,
was a celebrated Ottoman-era poet and judge.
The Jesuit-educated Mallat obtained an advanced degree in Latin and
a Masters in Law from Universite Saint-Joseph. In 1964, Mallat was
appointed social affairs minister by President Charles Helou, only
to resign one year later in protest over the arbitrary dismissal of
leading judges under the pretext of combating corruption.
Mallat was elected to head the Beirut Bar Association in 1972, and
helped found the first Arab organization for human rights two years
later
During his later years, he published several books, including a
reference compendium on the impact of his father on contemporary
Arab poetry, “The Poet of the Cedars: School of National Identity.”
Last year, Mallat published a collection of hitherto unknown poetry
by his grand uncle Tamer, including poems to Nasib Jumblatt, a Mount
Lebanon political leader in the second half of the 19th century.
Mallat remained extremely private through his career as jurist, man
of letters, and politician. During his tenure as the most powerful
judge in the country, he refused all invitations to social
functions. – The Daily Star |
