Press Release: New EU support for Justice and Security Sectors in Jordan

The European Commission has adopted a decision to provide further assistance to "Support justice sector reform in Jordan" and to "Support for the security sector in applying the rule of law".

By providing support to reform of the justice sector in Jordan, the Commission expects to achieve greater integration amongst key players in the judicial field and greater operational independence of the key institutions. After the reform there should be better access to justice for the population and a strengthened juvenile justice system in line with international standards and conventions.
