Abstract
This article explores the mechanisms of the French humanitarian corridors in Lebanon, examining the stages of evaluation and selection of candidates for this program. The author develops a network approach by presenting the interrelation-ships between the signatory associations of the HC and the French authorities. With the development of legal channels at European level, the author presents the context in which these HC were created. The concept of vulnerability, used in the assessment of candidates for the corridors, is then examined and explained at the various stages of selection, based on a fieldwork in Lebanon. The vulnerability evaluation carried out by the associations and then by the French authorities tends to legitimize the delivery of a form of asylum from afar, outside the borders of the European Union.
