AMMAN — President of
the Jordan Bar Association Yahya Abu Abood has called on the government to
revoke the Defense Law as it is “no longer justified, and there is no longer a
need for it in light of the end of the COVID-19 pandemic”, Jo24 reported.

Legal burdenThe continued
implementation of the Defense Law, Abu Abood said, places a burden on the
Kingdom’s judicial and legislative authorities, as it disrupts main laws.
Revoking it, he noted, has become a priority.
"There are no justifications for continuing to enforce the Defense Law, and defense orders have begun to obstruct legal procedures. It must be ended.”
If Jordan does not
revoke the Defense Law, it will have a negative impact on attracting investments
to the Kingdom, he warned.
The end of COVID-19Further, Abu Abood
said that not a single country in the world continues to implement a similar
defense or martial law after the end of the pandemic.
"There are no
justifications for continuing to enforce the Defense Law, and defense orders
have begun to obstruct legal procedures,” he said. “It must be ended.”
