Federal Corrections Directorate (Arab Union)
The Federal Corrections Directorate (Arabic: ادارة السجون الفدرالية idārat as-sujūn al-fidrālīyah) is a directorate overseen by the Director–General of Federal Corrections (المدير العام للسجون الفدرالية al-mudīr al-‘ām lis-sujūn al-fidrālīyah) to the Attorney General of the Arab Union. It is responsible for the administration of all prisons and related correctional institutions, including parole and probation services, at the federal level. As the vast majority of what constitutes the nation's court system constitutes republican-level district and circuit courts, each subordinate to the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of the particular courts' republic of jurisdiction. For example, the Third Circuit Court of the Lebanese Arab Republic is answerable to the Lebanon Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of Lebanon, and itself a level above its districts' district courts, the typical court of first instance and most numerous courts in each of the Arab Union's 20 republics.
