Jordan’s King Abdullah has endorsed the recommendations of the Royal Committee for Developing the Judiciary and Enhancing the Rule of Law.
The King outlined the priorities of the council; namely, accelerating litigation and the execution of court rulings, establishing specialised courtrooms and better harnessing technology to serve the set goals of judicial reform.
His Majesty stressed that the economic and investment environment cannot be improved without an effective and independent judiciary.
He underlined the importance of supporting judges and improving their competence with continuous training.
Other Arab countries have similarly recognized in recent years that a stable and competent judicial system is critical to economic growth. But it is one thing to support judicial independence and the rule of law in principle, and quite another to maintain those values in a challenging political climate.
