This study aimed to identify the concept of just war theory, define its principles, and assess the extent to which the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip conforms to these principles. This was achieved by answering the following main question: Does the war declared by Israel on the Gaza Strip conform to the principles of just war?

The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach and a legal methodology. It reached several conclusions, including that Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip are entirely incompatible with the tenets of just war and contradict all principles of international humanitarian law and the UN Charter. Finally, the study recommended investigating war crimes and genocide through the International Criminal Court.

Invalidity in Jordanian Personal Status Law: A Comparative Study

2026-02-11T10:56:50+02:00

Nullity is an impact imposed by law for violating the contractual system required to protect the supreme interests of society. Nullity strips the act of all its impacts and make it null and void. The Jordan’s Family Law stipulates cases of nullity as well as it states that a null contract does not have any of the impacts of a valid contract. The Jordan’s Family Law also distinguishes between a null contract and a void contract. However, it does not provide a general theory or rules for nullity because the law merely mentions the cases in which a contract is null only. The question that arises here is that whether these cases are mentioned by way of example or by way of exhaustion. This research seeks to discuss this legal issue and offer recommendations by using a legal and Fiqh descriptive and deductive as well as make meaningful comparison with Islamic jurisprudence and Arab legislation.

A human being is naturally born either a fully developed male or a fully developed female. However, certain physical or psychological conditions may lead to ambiguity in sexual identity, prompting medical, surgical, or psychological intervention for the purpose of sex correction or transformation. While sex correction due to physical abnormalities is considered legitimate medical treatment, sex transformation based solely on psychological grounds stands in clear contradiction to the principles of Islamic Sharia and the provisions of Jordanian legislation.

Moreover, some physical conditions may not affect a person’s sex classification directly but may impair marital intimacy, Whether the issue involves sex correction, sex transformation, or physical defects affecting sexual relations, it remains essential to examine the legal implications of such cases on the validity and effects of the marriage contract under Jordanian law.

Towards a Constitutional Framework for the Caretaker Government in the Jordanian Constitutional System: An Analytical Study in Light of the Constitutional and Legal Oversight

2026-04-05T11:55:23+02:00

This research, titled "Towards a Constitutional Framework for the Caretaker Government in the Jordanian Constitutional System," addresses a critical issue in constitutional law, focusing on the framework of the temporary government tasked with managing the daily affairs of the state in the event of a political vacuum, such as the resignation of the government or the dissolution of parliament. The study argues that a caretaker government is a necessary transitional phase to ensure the continuity of public services and to prevent a legal vacuum, thus maintaining political and administrative stability in the state.

In the Jordanian context, the research highlights the absence of clear constitutional provisions defining the powers of the caretaker government, raising concerns about its legitimacy and the limits of its authority. The study also examines the mechanisms of oversight on the actions of the caretaker government, whether through parliamentary, presidential, or judicial control, while also exploring comparative practices in countries like France and Iraq. The research concludes by emphasizing the need to clearly define the powers of the caretaker government in the Jordanian Constitution, along with strengthening judicial oversight to ensure that such a government does not exceed its designated authority. It advocates for the establishment of constitutional principles that govern this transitional period, ensuring the stability and sovereignty of the state.
