Jordanian domestic law does not contain specific provisions implementing Article 1D of the 1951 Refugee Convention or addressing the continuity of protection for Palestinian refugees receiving assistance from UNRWA. Jordan is not a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and has not adopted a national asylum law. Refugee protection is instead administered through the 1998 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Government of Jordan and UNHCR, which authorizes UNHCR to conduct refugee status determination (RSD) in accordance with international standards. The MoU refers to the 1951 Convention refugee definition and serves as the primary framework for refugee status determination in Jordan, but it does not contain specific provisions on Article 1D exclusion or inclusion.

Jordan is one of UNRWA's five areas of operation; therefore, in almost all cases, Palestinian refugees in Jordan would fall under UNRWA's mandate.
