However, it may be surrounded by some ambiguity or objection, which obliges the judge, when presenting it to him, to strive to reach the goal intended by its legislator from the text, This, of course, requires the judge to be familiar with the sciences of language and logic, in addition to the ability to determine the reason for the text. Certainly, the judge, before he makes his judgment on a matter, must adhere to the objective controls of diligence, taking into account the interest of the accused, and memorize the correct text in the event of an apparent conflict between the texts.</p> Muhannad Al-Haddad Copyright (c) 2025 Political Sciences and Law Series 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 4 2 117 142 10.59759/law.v4i2.724 The Role of Social Media Platforms in Enhancing the Awareness of Violence Issues against Women in Southern Jordan and their Related Laws. https://journals.aabu.edu.jo/index.php/law/article/view/963 <p>Violence against women remains one of the most significant challenges facing modern societies. Social media platforms have increasingly played a critical role in highlighting these issues and raising awareness about them. This research aims to examine the role of social media platforms in raising awareness of violence against women in the southern governorates of Jordan and to analyze how these platforms influence individuals in addressing such violence. The researchers employed a descriptive methodology, utilizing a questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. The study surveyed a sample of 840 social media users in southern Jordan. The instrument included a 15-item scale designed to assess the impact of social media platforms in disseminating awareness about violence against women, measured using a five-point Likert scale.&nbsp;</p> <p>The findings revealed that the role of social media platforms in raising awareness about violence against women was rated as high. The most prominent response was that neglecting issues related to violence against women leads to societal disregard of these issues. Additionally, the study found no statistically significant differences in the influence of social media platforms based on gender, nor were there differences related to demographic variables such as age or educational level. The results indicate that all segments of society in the study, regardless of gender or educational background, recognize the importance of issues related to violence against women and actively engage with these topics on social media platforms.&nbsp;</p> <p>These findings align with numerous previous studies that underscore the role of social media in fostering social awareness and shifting societal perceptions regarding women’s rights. However, the study diverges from certain research that reported a lack of awareness among social media users in specific communities. The study recommends strengthening the role of social media in raising awareness about violence against women through ongoing awareness campaigns and engaging all societal groups in meaningful discussions to address these issues at both individual and community levels.&nbsp;</p> alaa majali Yousef Al-Shorman Suzan Al-Shamayleh Nisreen Al-Bahri Copyright (c) 2025 Political Sciences and Law Series 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 4 2 87 115 10.59759/law.v4i2.963 The Implementations of Law Required for the Executive Issues in the arbitration litigation https://journals.aabu.edu.jo/index.php/law/article/view/926 <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Defining the adjective law that should be applied may have a reflection on the legal specialization in the countries of the location of arbitration and the location of executing the award of arbitration. The reason is that the arbitration award often requires the assistance of the state’s judicial authorities either during the applicability of the arbitration procedures, such as the case of provisional and preventive procedures that have the form of coercion or during the execution of the arbitration along with the required procedures that the arbitration authorities cannot take.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Along with the usual situation the law that should be applied on the procedures may clash with another law. For example, when the situation necessitates taking one of the arbitror procedures in a third country that is not considered the location country or the country of executing the award. As we know, the will of adversaries has a basic role in organizing proceeding in the procedures; however, this organization lacks the ability to be aware of all of the issues of the procedures. Therefore, in this matter, it should be referred to the law that should be applied on the procedural issues and define its field.</p> <p>The above hypotheses may show us the importance of defining the field of the law that should be applied on the procedural issues. Arbitration procedures represent the nerve on which the arbitration is established. Through these procedures, the legality and solidness of arbitration in all of its stages is ensured, hence reaching an arbitration award that is liable to be recognized and executed.</p> <p>This study is important because it reveals the existence of general rules that are common in most of the legal systems in the field of arbitration procedures. They can be considered a core of legislative attempts in the future in order to codify or unite the procedural issues in this field. The extent of the difficulty of differentiating between the procedural and subject matter issued has to be noticed. This differentiation is one of the most important studies in the private international law jurisprudence due to drafting a decisive criterion that separates between what is considered a subject matter issue or a procedural issue. This is so because certain judicial rules may be related to the subject matter or at the same time in a way that makes separating them impossible.</p> <p>It cannot be said that a law is considered procedural if it does not tackle the subject matter because some procedural laws may tackle the subject matter such as the laws that organize the ways of objecting to the rule.</p> Sami M.

The importance of the study lies in finding the best solutions and suggestions required to protect the right to privacy, through explaining the attitude of the Jordanian legislator and the plan followed. The study dealt with the unclear attitude of the Jordanian legislator to the mechanism of preserving the right to privacy since it is protected by different legal texts within the descriptive analytical methodology for the purposes of describing the right to private life and analyzing the legal texts related to the subject of the research. This research has reached a set of results and recommendations. The most prominent of which is that the Jordanian legislator punished most of the crimes of assault committed by electronic means with misdemeanor penalties and set the minimum penalty to three months, which can be replaced by a fine, which means an imbalance between the seriousness of the crime and the punishment.</p> <p>One of the most prominent recommendations reached by this research is the necessity of adopting a clear criminal policy capable of confronting cybercrimes, so that this policy has the elements for success, including extensive discussion and comprehensive planning, capable and active executive bodies, and specialized and effective legislative and judicial tools, so that the efforts made are crowned with success within the general framework of this policy in confronting this new form of cybercrime in a comprehensive, integrated and evolving manner that keeps pace with developments in modern and sophisticated crime.</p> Rashid Al-Kasasbeh Copyright (c) 2025 Political Sciences and Law Series 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 4 2 223 243 10.59759/law.v4i2.797 AL Trial Conclusion and their Relationship to the Consideration of the Legal Proceedings https://journals.aabu.edu.jo/index.php/law/article/view/958 <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This study demonstrated that the Jordanian legislator did not generally regulate the cases in which the civil cases are scrutinized, but rather through some articles only. Moreover, it dealt with the cases of examination of civil lawsuits scrutinizingly and the implications of its scrutiny, in addition to the phase of the trial conclusion and deliberation and their relationship with the examination of civil lawsuits. Also, the study tackled the Court of Cassation’s position before the Court of Appeal’s if the latter insists on its decision that was overturned by Court of Cassation. In conclusion, the study recommended the importance of amending articles (152) and (202) of the Code of Civil Procedures which will lead to unifying the legislative drafting of articles according to the jurisprudential rule “The legislator does not do idle talk”, since this rule becomes applicable where the legislator precisely chooses the appropriate legal terms and phrases which positively reflects the practical side. Additionally, the importance of amending Article (202), which dealt with cases where the Court of Appeal insists on its overturned decision, and this study recommended all the related amendments in which the Jordanian legislator should take into consideration. Some of the most important recommendations are to add a paragraph to article 202 of the Civil Procedures Law that includes the following “The members of the court whom the claim was referred to should not have amongst them any of the judges who issued the appealed judgement” and to state a specified period for the court for when a claim is referred for scrutiny as the authority of the court to refer a claim for scrutiny does not entail closing the case and does not obligate the court to issue a judgement within thirty days. This provides the court with an instrument to delay the length of court procedures by way of referring the claim for scrutiny and then misusing this right against litigants</p> sundos3 alawi Tamara Nasser Al-Din Copyright (c) 2025 Political Sciences and Law Series 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 4 2 67 86 10.59759/law.v4i2.958 Turkish-Israeli Security Relations in Light of the Turkish Position on the Gaza War and Future Trends During the Period https://journals.aabu.edu.jo/index.php/law/article/view/900 <p>The study aimed to find out the Israeli-Turkish security relations during the period (2010-2024), while focusing on the changes this route witnessed in light of the regional and international fluctuations. These relations are significant as they formed a suitable environment for achieving greater developments in many aspects including the security, military, economic and political fields. The study as well deals with the sensitive files that directly affected these relations, especially the Palestinian issue, as well as the Turkish attitude toward the developments in the Kurdistan region, since both have a great impact on the stability of the bilateral relations and their regional balance. In its analytical framework, this study used the international system approach in studying international relations in order to understand the Turkish- Israeli relations within their broader regional and international context. Also, the study used the decision-making approach to analyze the characteristics and dimensions of these relations through presenting an analytical theoretical study. The results of the study showed that Turkey always seeks to invest the regional fluctuations to enhance its position regionally. The study also showed that the nature of the relation with Israel greatly depends on the degree of its agreement with the Turkish interests in the region. In addition, it reveals that Turkey continuously adopts a balanced attitude in its relations with Israel and the Arab countries, where it can neither categorized as an ally of the Arabs nor an enemy of Israel. It is worth mentioning that this balance may sometimes conflict with the interests of some regional parties, which makes Turkey adopt a policy that is subject to push and pull. The study states that Turkey imposes economic sanctions on Israel in the time of continuous humanitarian crises; however, it also indicates that alternative ways exist through other countries to deliver Turkish goods to Israel. The study concluded with the need to strengthen the Turkish- Israeli relations due to the strategic aspects between them, especially in the security, economic, and political fields. It also emphasized the need for both parties to focus on the security and strategic aspects to maximize their active presence in the international arena).</p> <p> </p> khaled khraisha Raafat Tarawneh Mahmoud Al-Karaki Copyright (c) 2025 Political Sciences and Law Series 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 4 2 177 221 10.59759/law.v4i2.900
