This concluding chapter provides an overview of the chapters, as well as briefly highlighting the relevant normative frameworks applicable to the issues addressed in this special edition journal. The authors have addressed structural, institutional, and individual gaps and challenges in the refugee protection sphere and have raised concerns about the lack of adequate acknowledgement of gendered aspects of the asylum frameworks and processes, and crucially the differential impact thereof. The gaps in the legally binding instruments governing this area of human rights protection, and the minimal attention to the connection between theory and practice and its resulting consequences, are highlighted by some authors.
This article deals with the issue of honour killings, a particular type of intrafamily femicide in defence of honour in Jordan. The legal, social, religious, nationalist and tribal dimensions and arguments on such killings are presented. Drawing on Arabic and English source material the role of rumour, social values and other dynamics in normalising this practice in Jordan today is analysed. Honour killings, which contradict many international and national laws and covenants, are clearly connected to the subordination of women in Jordan and to the 'criming down' of domestic violence. The prevailing discriminatory culture cannot change without implementing a comprehensive programme for socio-legal and political reform.
