Comparative Study of General Conditions in Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in the Iranian and the European Union Laws

With the transformation of political and economic systems, the world is becoming a global village, and its needs to harmonize laws and regulations and the globalization of rights is more and more concrete. In this study, the conditions and barriers to the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in Iranian law have been adapted to EU rules, and the implementation and differences of judgments in both systems have been investigated. The results showed that the commonality of both systems is that only civil and commercial sentences can be identified and enforced, and criminal and administrative and tax decisions are excepted. The study found that EU regulations could be shared between countries with regional and religious communities, such as the member states of the Islamic Conference, the Eco-Organization and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
