Constitutional Court has key role in legal empowerment — Prince Hassan

IRBID — The Constitutional Court plays an important role in reaffirming legal empowerment and entrenching the concept of citizenship, HRH Prince Hassan, president of the Arab Thought Forum, said on Tuesday.

For legal empowerment to succeed, individuals must be living in societies governed by the rule of law, the prince said at a discussion on the Constitutional Court organised by the faculty of law at Yarmouk University in Irbid.

The government should not be above the law, Prince Hassan said, noting that laws should respect human rights and equality.
