Guarantees of the Right to Litigation in Jordanian Legislation

Abstract

The Right to Litigation is considered one of the basic rights in the constitution as well as one of the agreed upon principles in International Law. The Right to Litigation is basically a human right being of great importance because it directly affects the human being in his life and future. International Human Rights Law has made clear progress beginning with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Charters and Covenants, and International Conventions, most notably International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The gap of this research lies in the legal status of this principle in internal judiciary and the extent to which it applies to this international legal arsenal and the extent of the complimentary role of the international judiciary in protecting human rights.
