Court under Article 208 of the Penal Code for the crime of torture, put there were no court decisions rendered till now. 3. Reforming the criminal justice system through reviewing the penal legislation, especially the Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedures, to ensure the fair trial guarantees and the provisions of legal aid to those in need. 4. The implementation of "Karama Project" contributed in generating a debate in Jordan about the prohibition of torture and ill-treatment, and recommended the adoption of strategies that combat torture, through for example, holding discussions on the need for the ratification on the OPCAT. 5. The organization of two international conferences by the Ministry of Justice at the Dead Sea in June 2013 and in June 2015 to discuss how to combat torture and limit the use of pre-trial detention. The most important shortcomings in the field of combating torture (negative aspects): 1. Shortcomings in the definition and criminalization of torture provided for in the Penal Code which results in the ineffectiveness of the prosecution and conviction of its perpetrators. 2. Shortcomings in the complaint and investigation mechanisms that address allegations of torture, and then non- independence of the inquiry commissions. 3. Shortcomings in the compensation and the rehabilitations for the victims of torture. 4. Failure to provide the due legal safeguards for detainees (to have access to a doctor and a lawyer of their own choice, and contact with the outside world) . 6. Continuing the application of the Crime Prevention Law of 1954 Articls (1 to 4) Paragraph (1): The year 2011 witnissed implementing substantial constitutional amendments, including ammending Article (2/8) that states: “Any person who is arrested, detained, imprisoned or whose liberty is subject to any restriction shall be treated with dignity, safeguarded from any form of torture or bodily or mental harm and held in no place other than a legally designated holding facility. Any statement obtained from any person by means of torture or the use of harm or threats shall be deemed invalid”. On the basis of this, we can therefor say that the prohibition of torture has become the fundeemtal principleunderpening the Jordanian legal system, since theappex of the legislative pyramid indicates this. 3
