Since the formation of the state in its modern sense in Iran and the constitutional revolution, the concept of the independence of the judiciary has been consolidated in our fundamental laws, but in how it is realized, in accordance with the time periods and rules established at the constitutional level and the ordinary laws, remarkable differences has been made. It should be noted that the process of independence of the Judiciary, which is considered as an integral part of administrative autonomy, is viewed as a historical process. In this process, the judiciary has evolved from the state of the judiciary system under the executive power, into an independent entity with more limited synthesis to the executive power Constitutional developments also reflect this progress.

Legislative power is one of the main pillars of the Iranian legal system in the Constitution.

One of the most alive and, to be sure, complicated political and legal events in the Caspian Sea region is the unresolved issue of its legal regime. The Caspian Sea, as a closed sea, has had a volatile history in terms of its legal regime and for the time being one cannot see a clear vision for solving its legal regime problem. The Caspian states have reached a consensus on the issues of environment and territorial as well as the special fishing zone, but the complex Caspian marathon in the exclusive economic zone and also continental shelf of the sea, remains unsolved. In this regard, if we look at the Islamic Republic of Iran’ s position on the legal status of the Caspian Sea, we will see that Iran refers to the "principle of equity" as a basis for the division or delimitation of the Caspian Sea in order to restore its lost rights. This article tries to examine the meaning of the principle of equity as an element of natural justice and to elaborate the practice of the International Court of Justice regarding the delimitation of the continental shelf. We try to reach an accurate understanding of this term and its scope so as to reach a definite idea on the delimitation of the seabed and subsoil of the Caspian Sea.

The ICJ aside of the settlement of conflicts, has the diverse tools for reinforcement of international rule of law. This research is seeking to review and explain of ICJ’ methodes for the establishment and reinforcement of international rule of law.

Good and efficient setting of communication between actors in the international community, requires careful examination of these relationships. The relationship between domestic order and international order and domestic legal obligations to obey to the norms and rules of international law of that discussed in law, international relations and politics, have not much legal literature in our country. Study of commitment of domestic law to obey the rules and norms of international law with descriptive-analytical approach is the subject of this article with using related references. Our finds shows: experts tried on documenting the internal legal obligation to obey the norms of international law with introducing various foundations. Domestic legal systems approach (constitutions, precedent and practice) are mainly based on the principle of the sovereignty of nations and the lack of obligation to obey the norms of the international law. While international law (international documents and international judicial procedures) issued order to obey of the norms of international law in many cases. The difference in approach of domestic law and international law leads to supremacy of international law over domestic law and the obligation to obey with the norms of international law with reasons like globalization and internationalization of (public) law, protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens and requirements of international life.

Even after passing than execution immunity is difficult to find commercial nongovernmental properties of defendant state. However, solutions such as diplomatic protection, insurance, agreeing to modify or change the terms of payment, sale or transfer to third person and pressures from the international community and State of nationality of applicant by the removal or suspension of trade tariffs can help to execution of arbitration award.

Necessity of protecting the Constitution, as the supreme law at the top of the legal principles pyramid, stresses the need for establishment of the constitutional courts to ensure this order. Due to the differences between the legal systems in the world, their types of proceedings are different as well. Ensuring compliance of the ordinary laws with the constitution and supporting the basic rights and freedoms of the people are the main duties of this organization. The present article studies verdicts of the constitutional courts in a number of countries in order to explain role of the constitutional magistrates in development of the people’ s basic rights. Accordingly, the people’ s right of complaining about violation of their personal rights to the constitutional magistrate, the magistrates’ interpretation, a priory control, and publishing the decisions play an essential role in this regard. In other words, the constitutional magistrate is like a switchman that keeps the train of constitutional laws in its real track and does not let the public authorities to deviate it.

The specificity of the rules governing the European Union and the foreign competence of the Union to conclude the international treaties has led to the two independent legal systems regarding bilateral investment treaties between the member states of the Union and third countries; a regime based on the domestic law in the framework of international law and the EU-based regime. The conflict between the competence of the Union and its member states to conclude bilateral investment treaties, creates ambiguities which can effect to the validity of these treaties. Also the assumption of the supremacy of Union rules with the effect on the validity of bilateral treaties between member states and third countries, drew the assumption of the violation of international law and the international responsibility of the Union and the member states. Although some rules of Union Law contain approaches in this regard, there are still challenges in the concluding and the validity of these treaties at the Union level, which could be a sign of instability and unsaifty, as the main components in the attracting foreign investment in EU. In this paper, we are going to examine the challenges and their legal approaches at the EU level.

The Waliyat Faqih system is the stems out of divine sovereignty and the parliamentary system is based on the high role of the people's representatives. So the combination of these two enounter problems. However, since divine sovereignty is one of the oldest forms of sovereignty, and today many people in the world have religious beliefs, the combination of this theory with the achievements of human wisdom a good solution for today's governments could be achived. The question of the research is how can the balance and cooperation of power be achieved in the organization based on divine sovereignty in the Islamic Republic of Iran? The research method in this research is library method. Based on the findings of this study, the present regime is a special system that is not fully compliant with any of the categorizations. As it may be named as a Welai Syatem of semi-presidential, semi-parliamentary system, it could be turned into a native "Welai parliamentary regime", which is more compatible with divine sovereignty. In fact, with the separation of the religious duties from other Waliyat Faqih duties, and the redefinition of these "other duties" for the moderator, as well as the use of a rather partial party system, not all parties, the conditions for the parliamentary system could be provided.

Generally, compensation for environmental crime damages meets two major challenges. The governmental nature of criminals, which causes a huge number of victims, is the first one. Secondly, as the Iranian legal system of civil liability is based on the theory of fault, it is not efficient enough to deal with this issue. However, based on the international law and Iranian legal system, we try to recognize criteria for compensation of environmental crimes. In these two systems, environmental compensation has a restoration nature and, on the other hand, it is based on the views of the offender and the governments. From this point of view, environmental criminal is required to restore the damages into its former circumstance. Otherwise, the government is responsible for compensating the environmental crimes through a specific fund, called environmental fund.
