His Majesty King Abdullah on Tuesday reiterated his keenness to entrench the principles of the sovereignty of the law, justice and equality among all Jordanians.



The King made the remarks at a meeting with Ahmad Obeidat, Chairman of the National Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) board of trustees.



King Abdullah, who received a copy of the recently issued NCHR report on the status of human rights in the Kingdom between June 2003 to December 2004, said the country is going ahead with its policy of enhancing respect for human rights.



Obeidat expressed his appreciation for the King's concern to build a society in which public freedoms and human rights are preserved. He also commended recent Royal directives to security forces to deal with citizens and civil society institutions with greater transparency.
