DIGNITY has different activities with every partner to achieve a common goal, namely to fulfil the international obligations of Jordan to prevent and eliminate torture, as stipulated in the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (UNCAT) that Jordan ratified in and published in the official gazette in 2006.<\/p><p>\u2018Documenting Human Rights Violations\u2019 is a project where DIGNITY works with Mizan, a non-governmental organisation, on strengthening lawyers\u2019 work on cases of torture among other issues. Mizan offers legal assistance to survivors of torture and work more broadly on promoting an efficient and fair legal system in Jordan. Moreover, Mizan has published educational manuals for lawyers and various relevant publications, including\u202fa draft on amendments to the\u202fCrime Prevention Law; studies on the State Security Court and a study on\u202ffair trial guarantees. Furthermore, Mizan has\u202forganized trainings for hundreds of key relevant professional groups.<\/p><p>The work with NCHR is under the \u2018State Dialogue on Compliance\u2019 project. DIGNITY in the past supported capacity building to professionals under the umbrella of NCHR to do monitoring of places of detention in order to prevent torture and ill-treatment and improve conditions of detention places. In 2015 NCHR published\u202fits first periodic report and then later in 2017 their second periodic report was out. DIGNITY now supports NCHR to carry out awareness raising sessions around the Kingdom on the citizens\u2019 legal rights related to basic legal safeguard and rights when in detention and specifically on the UNCAT.<\/p><p>In partnership with MoJ, DIGNITY is working to enlarge the dialogue with the state about the prevention of torture in the legal system. This dialogue is established through an ongoing cooperation between the Danish Prosecution office, DIGNITY, MoJ and the Jordanian Public Prosecution office. The partnership includes the development of guidelines on investigating cases of torture and reduction of pretrial detention as well as trainings for judges and prosecutors on those guidelines. The cooperation also includes dialogue about law amendments to improve the rule of law in Jordan, e.g. Article 208 of the Penal Code which criminalizes torture. The partnership has\u202falso lead to\u202ftwo international conferences at the Dead Sea (June 2013 and June 2015).<\/p><p>Questions about this programme contact Country Director, Alexandre Adam<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3164fd3 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3164fd3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e93138 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3e93138\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Background<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cc8320 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5cc8320\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The first phase of the Karama programme began in 2008 when DIGNITY started working in Jordan.

Jordan has borders to Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the West Bank (Palestine\/Israel), which makes Jordan more or less surrounded by war and conflict zones. Nonetheless, Jordan is being considered as the most (or one of the most) stable and safe country in the region per the latest Gallup index.<\/p><p>With the surrounding countries, Jordan is facing a general threat of terror which pressures the military and makes safety and stability a top priority in state politics. On many levels the state has succeeded to keep terrorism out of the country. Despite this, Jordan also prioritise to work on human rights, however, the space for that is being limited by security concerns. Jordan still has a long way to go to obtain international standards but the status of human rights is in some areas slowly moving forward.<\/p><p>For example, in the summer of 2017, the Jordanian government abolished the infamous Article 308, which allowed rapists to marry their victims to avoid punishment and the state is as well committing to combat torture.<\/p><p>Furthermore, Jordan\u2019s capacity is challenged and the living standards have aggravated as a consequence of the huge influx of refugees. 2,175,491 Palestinians are registered refugees in Jordan and around 1,4 million Syrian refugees have entered Jordan since 2011.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-012bb76 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"012bb76\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3ad7af7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3ad7af7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-893a8c8\" data-id=\"893a8c8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78bc15d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"78bc15d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Funding<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d1bb86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d1bb86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Karama programme is funded by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Danish Arab Partnership Programme (DAPP) and implemented within the framework of the bilateral agreement between Jordan and Denmark.
