Promoting a Rule of Law Culture in the Middle East and North Africa Region

"Other countries in the MENA region have made considerable progress in advancing specific components of the Rule of Law. In the Levant, Jordan has instituted its own reforms to protect political and human rights such as freedom of assembly and the press, initiatives to empower women and youth; as well as enhancements of laws and regulations on alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, mediation in particular. In the Gulf region, Bahrain for example has made notable improvements in basic civil rights protections and freedom of expression and association. A couple of years back, the people of Bahrain took part in a popular referendum, in which they approved a return to the Constitution. As a result, the referendum made Bahrain into an open constitutional monarchy."
