International Treaties Before The Administrative Judiciary: A Comparative Study

Abstract

This research focus on the administrative judge applies and interprets international treaties, where the opinions of administrative courts in Jordan, France and Algeria were extrapolated to clarify his position on this issue. It was concluded that the administrative judiciary in Jordan, represented by the former Supreme Court of Justice and the current administrative courts, did not grant itself the right to apply and interpret international treaties as an act of sovereignty, unlike the administrative judiciary in France and Algeria, which considered itself the holder of jurisdiction in the application and interpretation of these treaties. The study recommended that the Jordanian administrative judiciary should adopt a similar position to the Jordanian regular judiciary and the comparative administrative judiciary.
