The importance of the censorship on the constitutionality of international treaties in the countries is highlighted by the fact that the international treaty is the most significant source of international law which is the core problem in this subject. In terms of the extent of the superiority of international law over internal law and the extent of the treaties' superiority over constitution, and also in terms of ordinary laws and observing the extent of its constitutionality to maintain the principle of superiority of constitution. The subject of censorship on the constitutionality of treaties is of an extreme importance in the protection of the Constitution and the sanctity of its superiority over the international legislation. additionally to that this censorship in its ideal form represents a bulwark against any imposition of state sovereignty and interests. Needless to say that many countries' interests have been threatened and their independence and sovereignty had been touched, because of treaties they have signed. The legal value of an international treaty varies from a constitution to another; in some constitutions it has higher force than the law itself as in France, it is the supreme law of the state, as in the United States and it has the force of law in Egypt.While the Jordanian legislator did not specify a certain position or strength of international treaties, He only specified the competent authority to ratify treaties.
