ضمانات حقوق الإنسان في ظل حالة الطوارئ في التشريع الأردني

Abstract EN

The importance of the research emerges in showing the concept of the state of emergency in the Jordanian constitution, the measures taken by countries and the extent of their impact on human life.

Hence the problem of the research arises when the countries worldwide, including Jordan, declared a state of health emergency due to the Corona epidemic.

Did these measures taken by countries agree with international laws and charters? This research has arrived at a set of results, the most important of which is that there must be a kind of balance between the necessity of implementing defense decisions and orders issued by the Prime Minister and the human right in such a way that this right is appropriate in terms of strength and rigor with the seriousness of the circumstances.

We recommend several recommendations, the most important of which is there must be explicit stipulation in the defense law that the executive and legislative authority together must agree to the decision to declare a state of emergency and not be exclusively limited to the executive authority because the enforcement of the emergency law has a clear impact on the rights and freedoms of individuals and the fact that the legislative authority is the representative of the people in setting laws that serve the individual and the common good
