For the issuing of notarize acts, applicant should be showing up personally in face of notaries, So in this step the notaries can investigate for applicant’s identity, consent, capacity and … .Moreover notaries can confirm the signature is on assignment to applicant. Although there are some legal authorities for issuing of digital certifications but after issuing of encryption keys and digital certifications, there are not any legal authorities for supervising on issuing of secure electronic documents. Therefore the issuing of notarize acts and secure electronic documents are not same. Hence they cannot have same legal effects.

The development of accessing to the cyber space, increasing the speed of transferring data via internet in the electronic commerce area and also the recent scientific advances in the field of artificial intelligence have caused propounding new concepts and appearing unprecedented matters in the legal subjects. Intelligent agent is one of these concepts, as a more advanced group of the kind of electronic agents. The intelligent agent is an invisible software program that concludes contracts automatically and independently in the internet market places with humans or other agents of his own kind on behalf of the human users. Despite legislations about electronic commerce and electronic contracts in recent decades, there is no rule that clarifies the authenticity of the transactions of intelligent agents. In order to make this agent’s legal nature clear for determining the existence of capacity and will in them, it is posed four theories to the scholars; Calling them slaves, simple communication tools, traditional contract agents or giving them legal personality that choosing each of them, causes different legal consequences. In this essay, after completely describing the defects and benefits of each theory, we found the last one the most appropriate.

Every society relatively faces with corrupt practices. In recent years, scholars have begun to examine the links between corruption and human rights and have widely held that corruption violates human rights. When corruption is widespread, people do not have access to justice, Court officials and the police pay more heed to bribes than to law, Hospitals do not heal people because the medical staffs give better treatment to patients who pay backhanders, Poor families cannot feed themselves, and Schools cannot offer their students a sound education. However, although all corrupt practices may in the long run affect a human right, this is not synonymous with a violation of rights. This work analyses when and how a corrupt practice entails a human rights violation by examining how the most common corrupt practices may violate several fundamental human rights and with respect of states obligation to respect, protect and fulfill of human rights in covenants, this paper illustrates negative effects of corruption on realizing of these rights.

The framers of Charter of the United Nations have considered that International Court of Justice as principal organ of the United Nations; the world Court have applied legal techniques in the resolution of the international disputes. The “principal judicial organ of the United Nations” which has been provided in the Article 92, gives the Court to apply extra-legal techniques for settlement of disputes. In other words, the Court has an additional duty to maintain international peace and security. The Charter gives primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security to the Security Council, but this responsibility is primary and it is not exclusive responsibility to maintain international peace and the Court in the recent years has had the opportunity to complete the function of the Security Council.

The title of the potential agreement, the contract negotiated during the contract is unknown, has not been raised in the Civil Code of Iran.

Some examples of the impact of the industrial revolution and the necessity today trades are common among traders and are growing so that they cannot be counted; the contract for the pre-sale of artifacts, contracts for the participation in construction and … . In this paper, examples of probable contracts are identified and analyzed. The criterion for determining the probability of a contract is the fact that the contractor is not aware of the amount or amount of the contract. Possible contracts in the rich jurisprudential source are also unprecedented. The transaction is based on the estimation (based on the uncertainty of the amount and product yield), the musk deal in the neue (based on the uncertainty of the quality of the musk) is among the contracts.

Based on goodwill, the seller must deliver goods which are in conformity with the contract. This conformity of goods is considered from physical and legal aspects. The United Nations Convention on the International sale of Goods, 1980 in article 35 and 36 is related to conformity of goods with the contract and seller’s obligation in this regard, we note that this is not the place for it. However, the innovation in the matter of conformity is article 41 to 43 of the convention that deal with the legal conformity of goods with the contract. On this basis, the seller is obliged to the buyer to deliver goods that are free from intellectual property rights or claims of third parties. The subject of seller’s obligation, its limitations and requirements and the sanction of its breach are the issues in this article we study.

The Spratly Islands are a group of more than one hundred and fifty maritime features which is in possession of countries that are located around the South China Sea. There has always been a sovereignty dispute between China and its neighbors over it, however all efforts to find a solution through negotiation did not work so far. Accordingly, The Philippines which is more close to The Spratly Islands and thus has more benefits there than other states, brought the case to the only competent adjudicative body i.e. the arbitration proceeding. This essay will analyze different legal aspects of the case from the perspective of contemporary international law before and after that both states bound themselves to the UN Convention on the law of the sea.

Keywords: Spratly Islands, Dispute Settlement, South China Sea, The Philippines, Arbitration.

The question of codification is a topic that is almost as old as the law itself. Early collections of laws are routinely referred to as codes, even though there is usually little reflection on quite what it is that constitutes a ‘code’ or what codification might mean in this context. In the modern law, codification has tended to be thought of in terms of grand modernizing projects that aim to replace older laws with new, universal and complete statements of law. The academic literature on codification has accordingly been dominated by debates for and against codification. The reformers argue that codes are modern, clear, accessible and consistent, while defenders argue that existing laws are consistent with the culture of the community they regulate and are flexible and adaptable to change.

In this paper my aim is to go beyond this debate which, in my view, has become somewhat sterile. I try instead to address two principal questions. The first is to ask what exactly it means to codify the law. The, perhaps slightly surprising, conclusion that I draw here is that all law is necessarily ‘codified’ in the precise sense that laws or rules are necessarily generalizations about conduct and how it should be regulated, and that this very process or abstraction or generalization then creates constraints for the practice of law or dispute settlement: as rules are written down they must be followed, and similar cases decided in the same way. In this way the practice of codification regulates legal practice as well as social life. And as rules become more complex they may be written down in different way – law books or legislation. This then leads to the second question, which is to examine the more limited understanding that we have of codification in modern legal systems. Here I argue that codification is linked to practices of state-building and the practices of legitimacy that are associated with it in modern society. In this way I thus hope to offer new understanding of a concept and a practice that is central to the modern law.

Finally I would like to record my gratitude to Bahman Khodadadee and Sara Mirbazel for their works in producing this translation, and to Dr. Abdolreza Javan Jafari for assisting with and overseeing this process.
