EU-Technical Assistance: Support to the Development and Implementation of National<br />
Policies, Strategies and Legislation related to Human Rights and Good Governance<br />
in Jordan<br />
Summary<br />
The overall objective of this project is to contribute to the strengthening of two local institutions, the<br />
National Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) and the Judicial <strong>Institut</strong>e of Jordan (JIJ), which represent<br />
key players for the monitoring and promotion of human rights protection in Jordan. The project thus<br />
contributes directly to the improvement of the human rights situation in the country.<br />
Specifically, the project provides assistance to the NCHR in the review of its organisational structural,<br />
in promoting the incorporation of international human rights instruments and standards into national<br />
legislation and in defining the NCHR’s role vis-à-vis the Permanent Committee for Human Rights<br />
(PCHR). It also contributes to improving the NCHR’s awarness-raising capacity and strengthening its<br />
awareness-raising mechanism on human rights.<br />
With regard to the JIJ, the project aims to strengthening JIJ capacity to collect, handle and disseminate<br />
information related to human rights and to improve the training activities on human rights for the JIJ’s<br />
target groups, mainly the magistrates of Jordan.<br />
The <strong>BIM</strong> participates in this project as a partner to the consortium led by the ICON <strong>Institut</strong>e and including<br />
also the German Foundation for International Legal Cooperation (IRZ) and the Centre for International<br />
Legal Cooperation (CILC). Its main role is the provision of training expertise in all areas concerning<br />
human rights protection, monitoring, and promotion.<br />
