Khudadad hakimi 1The principle of good faith is one of the principles that has gained great importance in domestic laws of countries and international documents today. This principle, due to the evolution and diversity it has undergone in the issues related to contract law, is of multiple importance. In the modern concept, the principle of good faith means honesty and fairness, but in the traditional concept, it is interpreted as a mistake or error. This writing is a descriptive-analytical study of the examples of the principle of good faith in Afghan law. The findings show that the principle is widely used in both traditional and modern concepts in Afghan law, and in the modern concept, it is more applicable to contracts. Based on this, the parties undertake to behave honestly and acceptably in various stages of their contractual relationships. There are specific performance guarantees for violating good faith in this sense. The traditional concept of good faith, however, has a protective aspect and is less applicable to contracts. In this regard, compensation for those who suffer damages due to mistakes and errors in legal relationships has been provided by the legislator.
