Abstract: Enforced disappearance is a crime that witnessed significant attention internationally to confront and prevent such practice. This attention was reflected in the states' internal legislation aiming at fulfilling international obligations. Accordingly, many states have sought to criminalise enforced disappearance of all forms in their laws, guided by the provisions of international conventions and instruments. However, Jordan has not ratified the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance justifying this by claiming that Jordan has an integrated internal legal system that is capable to confront and prevent this crime. Yet, real confrontation and prevention of this crime are potential only through ratification of this convention and inclusion thereof in the internal laws; otherwise, this crime will not be subject to the national jurisdiction.
