Freedom of belief and religion is one of the fundamental rights and basic principles in legal-political systems. The recognition of the right to be a religious minority and to be free to change religion One of the rights known as freedom of belief, which is one of the civil and political human rights.In this article, with a descriptive-analytical approach and with a library and documentation method, we are looking to analyze the relationship between Iran's criminal laws and the citizens' right to freedom of belief and religion. For this purpose, looking at the international documents and the constitution of Iran, approaches supporting and violating the freedom of belief have been reviewed in the criminal laws of Iran.The findings of this study show that the legislator in the constitution has an overall conception of the right to freedom of belief and religion. In criminal laws, there are also cases of violating the rights of religious minority groups and using unfair discrimination against them.In the Islamic Penal Code, there are articles to protect citizens who have a religion different from the majority and prohibition of discrimination based on belief but these guarantees are not sufficient and comprehensive and do not include all minorities and There are no rights for minorities that are not mentioned in the constitution.

Anonymous Shell Companies as a tool for economic criming such as forgery, fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, terrorist financing, etc. have become widely developed in Iranian recent years and this has not only affects the country's judicial system;But also has led to disruptions in the country's tax system, the banking system, and the customs system. It has led to a decrease in public trust in the government,too. Undoubtedly, this emergence and expansion is due to the weakness of the system of observation, identification and supervision of all kinds of commercial companies and the Companies Registry System as the only organization that is specially related to the information of commercial companies can play a major role in dealing with the emergence of these companies. Therefore, this question can be raised that what problems in the Companies Registry System have caused the development of Anonymous Shell Companies and what solutions are there to solve these weaknesses.This research, with a descriptive-analytical method, based on desk researches and documentary studies, firstly identifies the concept and structure of Anonymous Shell Companies. Then the reasons for occurance and development of Anonymous Shell Companies have been investigated from the point of view of the Companies Registry System and after recognition of the registration system’s gaps in dealing with Anonymous Shell Companies, it provides solutions to solve the current problems.

The subject of electronic criminal trial is the execution of proceedings from the discovery of a crime to the execution of a sentence if the accused commits a crime or the issuance of an acquittal through electronic and telecommunication systems. The goals of this type of trial are to speed up the proceedings in terms of its quality, to reduce the economic costs of the proceedings and the enforcement of sentences, and to achieve social distance in the event of an outbreak of the coronavirus to protect human lives.The issue of the present article is how to integrate the standards of fair trial in relation to the duties and powers of the interrogator during electronic investigations, while maintaining the confidentiality and privacy of individuals. The research method is descriptive-analytical using library resources and specialized websites.Findings of the paper in response to the challenges of this trial, such as violating the rights of the litigants through electronic notification, violation of the defendant's right to defense during interrogation and issuance of bail, indicate the possibility of interrogator actions through electronic and telecommunications systems in integrating litigation investigations are privacy and in accordance with due process. However, the parties face challenges during interrogation in terms of lack of provision and reform of electronic court infrastructure to ensure security and secure registration of data to maintain confidentiality and investigation by the interrogator and his supervision of judicial officers in police stations and offices of judicial services and lack of preparation of electronic signature. The Judiciary Statistics and Information Technology Center, with the help of the private sector, is responsible for ensuring the security of the electronic environment.

Proceedings of retrial in criminal and civil cases are different, it means that in criminal matters only the convicted person, the prosecutor executing the sentence and the Attorney General of the country have the right to request the retrial proceedings in civil matters according to articles 426 to 441 of the Iranian Civil Procedure Law; First of all, the reasons for requesting re-trail are the reasons listed in Article 426. Secondly, according to Article 441, no one except the plantiffe and their successor can request a retrial. Thirdly, the request is limited by the deadline. Fourthly, unlike in criminal matters where the request is submitted to the court and the district court prescribes a retrial, in legal matters the retrial petition is submitted to the court that issued the final judgment and the court that issues an acceptance order and retail the proceedings. The legislator of Egypt has also recognized the retrial of proceedings in criminal matters in articles 441 to 457 of the Egyptian Criminal Procedure Law and considers the purpose of the retrial of proceedings in criminal matters to prevent the judge or the court from causing losses to the accused due to a mistake in issuing a sentence. Therefore, the request for retrial by the public prosecutor's office is requested by the convicted person and in the case of the death of the convicted person by the wife or one of the relatives of the deceased, the retrial in civil matters is considered by the Egyptian legislator from articles 241 to 247 of the civil procedure law, which is often with the prescribed directions

Judicial review, due to its unique features, including the guarantee of coercive executions, has a decisive role in realizing the rule of law and guaranteeing the rights of citizens. The legal system of the Islamic Republic of Iran clearly recognized the category of public rights and interest in the field of administrative proceedings by approving the amendment of the Administrative Court Law (2023). This is the case that with the passage of more than a century of public rights and interests, these rights are still facing challenges in their birthplace, which is the criminal law. The Constitution, as a document containing the highest legal norms, requires public institutions to follow it. The Constitution of 1358 by establishing the "restore" of public rights and interests anf specifying the "duty" of the "judiciary" has drawn up the framework of proceedings in this field. In this way the question that arises in the meantime is "How is the order of the constitutional legislator to restore public rights and interest matters in the administrative proceedings?" The writing with the analytical method and using library sources especially the review of the opinions of the basic founders comes to the conclusion that the restoration of public rights as the duty of the administrative court is accompanied by foundations, criteria and requirements which are centered on interpretation methods. Verbal and practical oriented is not realized.

Despite the significance of the possibility of producing new evidence in the phase of appeal in a proceeding, there is no explicit rule in this regard. This issue is controversial among the scholars in the field of procedural law and the judges in connection with the appellate stage of a proceeding. Most of the courts have induced from the laws and regulations which governs this issue, the fact that a judge can make reference to the new evidence in the appellate, such as new investigation, inspection of scene, or new deeds, even if those evidences have been out of the point or have been deviated or have not been considered by the court of first instance due to any reason. Such approach, from the view point of precedent in the field of appeal, has been provoked by the Iranian Law of Civil Procedure (1939) and Article 563 of French new Civil Procedure Code and it can be said that the judicial precedents in this regard have been established on the basis of the same laws. The only limitation thereof is reference to the new evidence for proving those claims which had been under consideration of the first instance court. However, such precedent is not compatible with jurisprudential (feghhi) history of appeal and the very texts of some laws. Thus the conservative approach of the courts in this regard should be taken into account In the process of the future development of legislation. By following such an approach the legislator can be pushed to revert to the previous laws and regulations concerning the appeal, taking into account some adjustments thereto for confronting the prolongation of adjudications.

In the scientific system of any country, monitoring the performance of faculty members is very important. In case of violation by the faculty members of the university, it is inevitable to investigate their violation as the case may be. According to the law and the executive regulations, the process of hearing the violations of the faculty members is in the initial and appellate administrative board. It is worth mentioning that the investigation of the violations of the faculty members of the Islamic Azad University and the Litigation steps will be based on the regulations of this university. The purpose of this research will be to examine the shortcomings and provide solutions to the principles of fair proceedings with a view on jurisprudence, regarding the process of dealing with the violations of academic staff members of universities and higher education institutions. Qualitative research method has been done using questions. The finding of this research is that the regulations of this field have gaps and deficiencies, which in some cases cause violation of the rights of faculty members in the process of investigation. By examining the law and the regulations on the violations of academic staff members and by asking experts and members of the trial and appeals of disciplinary violations, we can conclude that there are shortcomings and gaps in the process of investigation. Among these cases, it is possible to point out the absence of a lawyer, the lack of documentation and justification of the rulings issued by the board, the non-specialization of the proceedings, the non-attendance of proceedings, the non-publicity of the proceedings, the lack of sufficient mastery of the members of the violation board to the laws which is provided for each solution.

Houseof Corrections are among correctional entities,that with an approach of preventing crimes commission and correction and rehabilitation of young offenders,play a significant role in rehabilitation and eliminating dangerous states of young offenders.Considering the educational role of such entity in rehabilitation of young offenders,while taking into scientific consideration such institutions,it is required to analyze the challenges they are facing.the present research aims to recognize and identify the treatment approach and correctional and rehabilitation policy of House of Correction in rehabilitation of young offenders.The methodology of the present research is based on qualitative method of grounded theory.Thirty teenagers based in Kerman Province Young Offenders Institution constitute the sample size of this research.To select the participants for this research,purposeful sampling method and maximum variation and theoretical saturation criterion were used.Upon,analyzing the data was resulted to creation of seven categories as follows:obligatory education,garrison space,being away from family,feeling prejudice and inequality,recreating rudeness,lack of supervising after exit and learning of criminality.the findings indicate that the plans and initiatives to keep and protect young offenders are far away from modern scientific approaches and adapting restrict protection policy,with no consideration to the needs of such kids and young offenders and providing required protections after leaving the institution and ignoring correctional and educational approaches,by no means can be resulted to rehabilitation and recovering the personality of young offenders.It is recommended that a map which specially focuses on modern approaches to restorative justice.amending and revising the articles of law related with mediationand the possibility of referring the cases associated with any crime committed by children and juveniles to merdiator to be drawn up.it is suggested that other programswhich are based on restorative justice,such as establishing rehabilitation social circles and participation of children in decision-making while focusing on keeping the best interest of the child in mind to be implemented

In order to defend a frivolous claim, the defendant may suffer from numerous fees such as litigation and expertise costs, attorney's fees, etc. One of the important questions is whether the demand for such fees caused by a frivolous claim is subject to proving the plaintiff's negligence or bad faith. In response, the Iranian Law situation is not very clear; Because according to Article 109 of the Civil Procedure Code, the security for costs order for frivolous claims, which is considered one of the ways to fee-shifting, is not subject to proving the plaintiff's negligence or bad faith. On the other hand, according to Article 515 of this Code, demanding fees from the plaintiff is generally subject to proving his bad faith. Along with the study of American Federal Law, resolving this ambiguity and conflict is the subject of this article. In this article, after explaining the concept of a frivolous claim, it is concluded that identifying the plaintiff's negligence (not his bad faith) is necessary for demanding fees caused by frivolous claims. In order to identify the plaintiff's negligence, some points must be considered: firstly, the negligence is identified according to the circumstances of the lawsuit. Secondly, the negligence of the pro se litigant or unrepresented party is measured by comparing him with the reasonable one and the negligence of the lawyer is measured by comparing him with the reasonable lawyer. Thirdly, as a rule, the pro se litigant or unrepresented party may not be considered negligent for filing a claim without a legal basis.

Simply speaking legislative history is the history with regard passage of a particular legislation. It includes: the government's statement of reasons for a bill and the legislative antecedents statutory provision under consideration; pre parliamentary materials relating to the or the statute in which it is contained, such as reports of and commissions reviewing the existing law and recommending and; parliamentary materials such as the floor debates in the legislature. In our legal system, the validity of the legislative history in legal interpretation is somehow considered as unquestionable presupposition. Therefore, the institutions responsible for interpretation, including the Council of Guardian, feel committed to it. Despite the role of legislative history in legal interpretations, its nature, types and criteria are unclear and unresolved. In this article, I first provide a precise definition of legislative history and its types, and then try to convince you that any reference to legislative history in interpretations is misleading. For, first, there is no such thing as the intention of the legislature to make legislative history a means of collecting it; Secondly, assuming the existence of the intention of the legislator, such a thing is not accessible to the interpreter, and thirdly, assuming that it is accessible, the search of the intention of the legislator through the legislative history has no unconstitutional.

AbstractThe concept of "right" has always been discussable and controversial during the time. Therefore the nature and existence of the "right not to be punished" are often discussed as challengeable issues among philosophers. The discussion has become more serious between proponents and opponents of the aforementioned right especially in the last few decades. Through a descriptive-analytical method (library study), this article, while studying the nature of the right not to be punished, from the perspective of both natural and positivist (positive) approaches, examines the existence or non-existence of this right in the perspective of its proponents and opponents. Our research found that the “right not to be punished” is as the type of “conditional negative claim-right” that the proponents of natural rights, justifies its existence. while positivists do not believe such a right. Even they are talking about “the right to be punished” and the government,s duty to punish criminals. of course, the number of philosophers who agree with the “right not to be punished” and the reasons for their justification is less than the number of philosophers who oppose it; But these same justifiable reasons (the proponents) are more in line with the approach of natural law, moral theories of punishment, human dignity and the principle of criminal law as last and least resort. Generally, “the right not to be punished” does not mean never to be punished, but to impose a corrective, dignified, minimal and, necessary punishment on the offender.

Considering the technical and specialized complexities of the crime of Commodity and Currency Smuggling Crimes and the diversity of the behaviors that cause them, the need to pay attention to special criminal evidence, the importance of discovering and investigating these crimes, the method and process of handling and the need to restore damages to rights Government, criminal proceedings with a technical/specialist approach is an undeniable necessity and this is the differentiation of proceedings. Examining the legislative record in this area shows the determination of criminal policy makers to foresee special rules and take a step in the direction of differentiating proceedings, but the effects of this approach are scattered and dispersed in the past laws and regulations. It can be seen that with the approval of the law against smuggling of Commodity and currency, the differential approach of the legislator became more visible. In this framework, the rules related to the differentiation of Commodity and currency smuggling proceedings are categorized in three levels. first level; The rules governing the detection of crime, which shows its importance in the proceedings of smuggling of Commodity and currency, in such a way that a chapter of the law is dedicated to the provisions related to the detection of crime. second level; The rules are in charge of the preliminary investigations and proceedings, which have been paid attention to in line with the principle of specialized proceedings, and the third level; It supervises the rules governing the execution stage of the judgments, which are specifically provided for in the said law, taking into account the need to restore the damages caused to the government's rights.

Religion is a collection of practical and moral beliefs and orders that are set for the guidance and advancement of humans. Due to the fact that adherence to religious teachings leads to the prevention of sin, experts believe that religion has a preventive function in social fields and in forms such as crime and deviance. Although the relationship between religion and crime is one of the most challenging issues in criminology, criminological findings have often emphasized the preventive role of religion. However, religious-historical cuts show that in some cases, eclectic interpretations of religion lead to crime. Thus, this research aims to describe, interpret and explain the thoughts of criminals with religious eclecticism by using Fairclough's discourse analysis method. The findings of this research show that eclectic criminals, emphasizing divine duty, ideological traditionalism, holy jihad, and ideological pressure, on the one hand, seek to create Sharia discourse, and on the other hand, reproduce Sharia-based domination relations. However, as a final assessment, it should be said that eclectic criminals commit crimes by misunderstanding religion and misunderstanding religious teachings. Therefore, in these cases, the crime-causing religious ideology is the result of religious epistemological eclecticism, and this cannot negate the positive function of religion in crime prevention.

Commercial companies as legal entities consist of various departments. As in some cases the interests of members or directors of a company’s departments may develop into a conflict, disputation are duly expected. Accordingly, the attempt to propose a practical solution to solve such cases has been a significant concern in company Law. Among the existing solutions, arbitration has always been a well-received one because of its advantages. Nevertheless, considering the unique characteristics of companies and the multiplicity of departments, the practice of this solution has faced several challenges and ambiguities particularly as far as the concept and criteria of internal disputes and arbitrability are concerned. Bearing these points in mind, this study examines the arbitration in intra-corporate disputes in the legal systems of Iran and the England. Concepts like intra-corporate dispute, scope of arbitration, and barriers to arbitration are delineated in the first step. The findings of this study suggest that within the Iranian legel system arbitration of intra-corporate disputes is subject to the general rules of corporate law and arbitration law due to lack of specific laws while in the England the jurisprudence, in some cases, examines both the status of arbitration in a company’s internal disputes and the identified obstacles. Also, it gives the concerned parties considerable amount of authority to take advantage of arbitration. Moreover, it takes structural barriers, public policy, restrictions on the type of compensation, and conflict with the rights of third parties as the most significant obstacles to the practice of arbitration in these cases.

The indivisibility of the obligation requires that the obligor fulfill the obligation in full at maturity; And the obligee is not required to accept part of the obligation. However, according to the second part of Article 277 of the Civil Code, the judge can give grace period according to the situation of the obligor. This sentence is taken from Article 1244 of the French Civil Code; But in practice it is abandoned Because in some recent laws, insolvency is a condition grace period to the debtor; And most courts do not rely on it in independent rulings. And most of the courts do not decision based on that. In this research, the historical origin, conditions and scope of grace period will be investigated. Is insolvency a condition for grace period? To be answered as a basic question. In short, we can say that grace period was introduced in ancient Rome and subsequently entered French law; And with several changes, finally in 2016, it was repeated with changes in Article 1342-4 of the French Civil Code. And with the conditions and in the absence of a legal prohibition, it is possible to grace period in financial obligations and it is not a condition to prove the insolvency.

Utilizing the criminal procedure principles requires the identification of conceptual and practical aspects of it so that justice can be ensured and the abuse of power by those in authority can be prevented. Criminal procedure principles, on par with other aspects of social life, have been affected by the reciprocity between liberty-oriented and security-oriented discourses. Hence, despite the importance of these principles and their prominence in criminal laws, the concept and instantiations of these principles remain ambiguous. Almost four decades have passed since the victory of the Islamic Revolution and in spite of the enactment of various laws, including the Criminal Procedure Code of 2013, a unified definition of these principles has not been provided. Various opinions and different judicial procedures in this area require a proper definition of the principles, along with the determination of their real instantiations. In this descriptive-analytical paper, a proper definition of procedure principles is presented, indicating that its classification into fundamental and non-fundamental categories is inaccurate and there should be one class of criminal procedure principles. Furthermore, considering the executive guarantees provided for the criminal procedure principles, and while enumerating their real instantiations, it is stated that the instances of these principles should be limited to cases that affect judicial proceedings, and not every provision can be considered as an instantiation of the aforementioned.
