The study addressed the impact of COVID-19 on public rights and freedoms. The research question is to what extent it is possible to achieve compatibility between preserving public health in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and protecting the basic rights and freedoms of individuals, and how the Jordanian government dealt with the pandemic by resorting to exceptional legislation in this regard. To address this problem the study focused on the legislative basis which the Jordanian government relied on to confront the pandemic and the manifestations of prejudicing general rights and freedoms. The study discussed the compatibility between respecting rights and freedoms, and combating the pandemic. The conclusion is that the Jordanian government imposed harsh legislations which restricted individuals’ rights. It is recommended that the Jordanian government adopt preventive measures to combat the epidemic in line with international standards on respecting human rights. Policies are suggested.   Received: 14 June 2022 / Accepted: 19 August 2022 / Published: 2 September 2022

This study came to analyze the legal texts regulating criminal measures for combating terrorist crimes, as stipulated by the UAE legislator in Law No. 7 of 2014 on combating terrorist crimes. In this study, I tried to go into the details of these measures to show the adequacy of these legal texts to reduce the terrorist crime and address the terrorist development of the terrorist person. This research has been divided into two sections, the first of which deals with the management of counseling centers by showing the legislative basis for this measure and the legal nature of it, and the mechanism of action of these centers. . We have concluded that the UAE legislator did well in adopting this measure to confront the extremist and terrorist ideology of people who adopt an extremist ideology and fear that they will commit terrorist crimes in the future. As for the second topic, additional measures were addressed, which consisted of banning travel and surveillance, prohibiting going to certain places or places, and prohibiting residency in a specific place or region. As well as limiting residence in a specific place and preventing contact with a specific person or persons. It has become clear to us that these additional measures play an important role in reducing the phenomenon of terrorist crime. The research concluded with a number of results that were a reflection of the main question that was raised in the introduction to this research.

This research aims to study the organized crime, its characteristics, and the legislative role in combating it. Due to its reception of many refugees from Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Libya, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Jordan witnessed a widespread of numerous forms of organized crimes such as drug crimes, money laundering, and human trafficking. The authors seek to clarify how Emirati and Jordanian lawmakers dealt with such crime, and whether their legal texts were sufficient and consistent with international conventions. An analytical and comparative approach was the methodology utilized to conduct the study. The authors tackled this research through, the demonstration of the concept of organized crime in the international conventions and national legislation and the viewpoints of Jurisprudence in this regard. Organized crime is described as a threat to national security and as a crime that has dire political implications at the national and international levels (Campbell, 2014). The research has focused on the laws concerning common organized crimes such as narcotic drug trafficking, human trafficking, and money laundering. This research highlighted the efforts exerted by legislators in both countries to combat organized crimes. The findings indicate that both countries enforced specific laws and regulations to stop such crimes

This research is concerned with the administrative and penal protection of the right to privacy under the United Arab Emirates (UAE) legislation, in comparison with the relevant Jordanian legislation. The purpose of this research is to clarify the concept of the right to privacy (Bennett & Raab, 2020), the important forms of violation of this right, its relation with governance (Rajaretnam, 2022), and the legal texts enacted and the amendments adopted in the respective countries in order to notice the strengths and weaknesses of these two laws and indicate opportunities for improvement. The research problem consists of the insufficient legal framework in the UAE and Jordan regarding the content and the means of the protection of this right. It is suggested that this goal is achieved by comparing the different laws adopted in these two countries. The main findings of the paper are that the UAE and Jordanian legislations need to be modified to comply with the new technologies due to the multiplicity of agencies supervising the protection of this right and the absence of a central authority. Finally, the study concludes that legislators in the UAE and Jordan should adopt measures of governance to ensure the effectiveness of the legal framework relating to this right.
