Jordan signed the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on 3/3/2007 and, after almost a year,on 31/3/2008 it was ratified, showing Jordan’s commitment to the implementation of all the provisions of this Convention. Moreover, having been published in the Jordanian Official Gazette, it is enforceable, binding and it has become an integral part of the Jordanian legislation.

In accordance with the provisions of this Convention, the Kingdom is obliged to harmonize its laws and legislation in accordance with the international standards set out in the Convention, although its legislation does not conflict with the provisions.

Article 33 of the Convention states that the signatory and ratifying States of this Convention shall be bound by the provisions of this Convention at the domestic national level.

The Kingdom took this real commitment to develop its laws in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, with international human rights standards and in line with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This shall be realized through the implementation of the national strategy for the overall objectives of persons with disabilities, their integration in public life providing rewarding opportunities and non-discrimination on the base of disability or because of considering persons with blocking part of the nature of human diversity. It should be provided a reasonable accommodation within specific time frame, to enable them to access facilities, buildings and public places to receive services smoothly and control specific criteria for the exemption of Persons with disabilities from many obstacles to their integration into society. A new draft law, entitled "Law on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities"was issued for the year 2016, which was approved and ratified by the National Assembly. During the discussion of the bill, the name of the law was questioned. Is it the same name or the law of the rights of persons with special needs? The end resort to the first name, in line with international names and terms, and with the title of the international agreement.

One of the basic reasons for the development of this new legislation is to create a society in which people with special needs have a decent and sustainable life that will enable them to participate effectively, based on equity and equality, because of the lack of community awareness in dealing with people with disabilities and lack of skills and know-how, although the presence of institutions concerned and capable of dealing with the disabled.It was necessary to have a law obliging the members of the society to participate, work to accept and integrate, involve people with special needs in society and to deal with their disability on the principle that it does not prevent their participation in the building and development of the country. They are also an integral part of the process of construction and participation and they have the right to exercise their normal and normal life outside their homes and in all places and all facilities in a natural, easy and smooth manner. Everyone should blow their energies and do not tie them by teaching them, training them and rehabilitating them and providing them with facilities and care so that they can contribute to the construction process and not be burdensome in the society.
