Alanbat - Hamad Al-hmaisat
Wednesday, the Joint
Parliamentary Committee (Legal, Women and Family Affairs) continues to discuss
the draft Child Rights Law for the year 2022.
On Tuesday, the committee, headed by Representative Abdel
Moneim Al-Awdat, began discussing the draft law in the presence of the head of
the Parliamentary Women and Family Affairs Committee, Abeer Al-Jbour, the
rapporteur of the joint parliamentary committee, Marwa Al-Soub, the Ministers
of Justice Ahmed Al-Ziyad, the State for Legal Affairs Wafaa Bani Mustafa,
Judge Abdul-Hafiz Al-Rabtah, and the two Sharia judges Mansour Al-Tawalbeh and Ashraf
Al-Omari, and the Secretary-General of the National Council for Family Affairs,
Muhammad Miqdadi.
Last April, the Council of Ministers approved the project,
and the Council said that the project came in response to the new
constitutional amendments that emphasized the protection of children, and to
enhance the protection and care of children by creating legislation regulating
the relationship, and coordinating between public, civil and private agencies
concerned with children, or charged with providing services to them in accordance
with the legislation.
The draft law comes in line with Jordan's ratification of
the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which requires taking legislative,
administrative, and other appropriate measures to implement the rights
recognized for children in this agreement, according to the government.
