Constitutional scholar and former minister Noufan al-Ajarmeh said he agreed with Prince Hassan bin Talal’s observation that the term “minorities” has no place in Jordan. He explained that the 1952 Constitution deliberately omitted the term, which had appeared in the 1928 Basic Law and the 1947 Constitution. He said the Constitution made citizenship and equality the basis of rights and duties and guaranteed freedoms and the principle of equality in Article 6; therefore, the concept of a minority does not apply to the components of Jordanian society. He added that the appropriate terms in the election law are “designated seats,” “reserved seats,” or “quota”—not “minority.”
