尽管存在着保护举报人的行政程序,仍需要就保护证人、鉴定人和检举人颁布专门的立法。在审议进程的后期(2011 年 9 月),约旦当局报告说仍在议会讨论的《反腐败委员会法新修正案》根据《反腐败公约》的要求,加入了关于保护 证人、鉴定人和检举人的四个条款。
Article 97 of the Constitution guarantees the independence of the judicial branch. While the King must approve the appointment and dismissal of judges, in practice judges have independence from the Government and are supervised solely by the Judicial Council and the Directorate of Judicial Inspection. At a later stage of the review process (September 2011), the Jordanian authorities referred to a new amendment to the Constitution which aimed at enhancing the independence of judiciary. It will be followed by a set of legislative acts amending the current Independence of Judiciary Act to reflect such independence.
