in the process of social integration of this category of society through the use
of speaking computers or those equipped with the Braille method. However,
this is not accessible to all due to the high financial cost. For the same
reason, persons with disabilities rarely find the different means, methods and
forms of communication in their dealings with others. For example, the six
o'clock news bulletin is limited to a sign language interpreter for local news
broadcasted on the Jordanian Television at that time only.
In this connection, the following observations were recorded:
1. As the first mediator between the thought and will of the people, the
press is responsible for making a positive change in the method and
pattern of dealing with persons with disabilities in the community.
2. It is essential to develop the capacities of people working in the
media, journalists, and artists and train them on how to address the
issue of disability in its advanced concepts.
Tenth: The Right to Nationality
According to the provisions of Article (3) of the Jordanian Nationality Law
No. (6) of 1954, as amended, a Jordanian citizen is the child of a father
holding the Jordanian nationality or who was born in the Hashemite
Kingdom of Jordan under certain conditions. Persons with disabilities are
granted the Jordanian nationality under this law, not on the basis of being
with a disability or not.
However, no violations relating to the right to nationality for persons with
disabilities were monitored or recorded.
