The right to personal liberty is fundamental for individuals and societies based on the rule of law. The United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights and United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights broadly define rules limiting possible pre-trial detention and protecting against arbitrary detention. Since 1961 the Code of Criminal Procedure has regulated detention in Jordan and in 2017, there were comprehensive revisions of the Code on these matters. To better understand factors that shaped the scope of the Code revisions in 2017 and to question whether the Code of Criminal Procedure fully adheres to ICCPR international human rights norms, this paper will draw upon political and legal debates prior to 2017 and upon legislative amendments, legislative text and subsequent jurisprudence. In so doing, this paper will critically examine whether the Jordanian legislation respects the right of personal liberty.

国际对约旦审前剥夺自由立法的看法

个人自由权对于基于法治的个人和社会而言至关重要。《联合国世界人权宣言》和《联合国公民权利和政治权利国际公约》广泛定义了限制可能的审前拘留和防止任意拘留的规则。自 1961 年以来，约旦《刑事诉讼法》对拘留做出了规定，2017 年，该法对这些事项进行了全面修订。为了更好地了解影响 2017 年《刑事诉讼法》修订范围的因素，并质疑《刑事诉讼法》是否完全遵守公民权利和政治权利国际公约根据国际人权规范，本文将借鉴 2017 年之前的政治和法律辩论以及立法修正案、立法文本和随后的判例。为此，本文将批判性地审视约旦立法是否尊重个人自由权。
