I'd like my colleague to take this question. I think it's a very good question. The question is not whether Jordan, as a state, wants to do so. There are many different factions in Jordan with different interests. The parliament in Jordan usually doesn't have a lot to say. It certainly does not draft legislation, as, for example, you do. It is the government that is appointed by the king that does so. However, especially in the royal court and in parts of the government--and the governments change almost yearly in Jordan, including the prime minister, by appointment of the king--have been rather progressive in wanting to further human rights agendas, including, sometimes, labour rights.
The 2008-10 changes in the law and practice certainly don't come from parliament or from the populace but from high up in the country. There are also significant obstacles. Especially security services are sometimes opposed to such reforms.
This is important in one aspect we haven't discussed yet. Jordan maintains something that is called overstay fines. Anybody who is out of residency status in Jordan incurs about a $3 U.S. per day fine for overstaying. That means that a lot of migrant workers who leave their employment, sometimes, or most of the time, because of abusive conditions--they are beaten, they're not being paid, they're overworked--cannot actually leave the country, because they quickly accrue much more in fines than they're ever able to pay. I have met many migrant workers in Jordan who are stuck there for months, sometimes years, and are unable to return home because of this particular immigration setting.
