Jordanian domestic laws do not explicitly set out exclusion criteria for refugee status in accordance with international standards, as defined in Article 1F of the 1951 Refugee Convention. Since Jordan is not a signatory to the Convention or its 1967 Protocol, there is no binding legal framework that incorporates the exclusion clauses for those deemed 'undeserving' of protection, which prohibit individuals who have committed serious crimes, war crimes, or acts contrary to the principles of the United Nations from obtaining refugee status.

In practice, Jordan relies on the 1998 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with UNHCR, which establishes UNHCR’s role in conducting Refugee Status Determination (RSD). The MoU does not explicitly outline exclusion criteria, but it follows the UNHCR’s mandate, which adheres to the 1951 Convention framework. As a result, individuals who would be excluded under Article 1F of the Convention may still be denied refugee status by UNHCR in Jordan. However, because Jordanian law does not codify these exclusions, the legal consequences of exclusion under domestic law are not defined.
