One of the main examples of the use of chemical weapons during modern armed conflicts is the widespread use of these weapons against Iranian soldiers and civilians and even Iraqi citizens, by the Iraqi army in the imposed war resulting in thousands being martyred or injured. Meanwhile, due to the need to protect its citizens, the Islamic Republic of Iran, given the severity of the harm done to the Iranian victims of chemical attacks and their families, has the task of facilitating the litigation of these individuals from the perpetrators of the attacks. In this regard, the judiciary is also of a pivotal task for facilitating the domestic litigation of Iranian victims of chemical attacks through internal judicial mechanisms. In this framework, although the domestic courts have competence to proceed in this case, but with regard to the non-criminalization of international crimes in Iran's domestic laws, the criminal or civil litigation of Iranian chemical victims and their families from Iraqi authorities and also, the people who helped the Iraqi Ba'ath army to achieve chemical weapons are subjected to the exact criminalization of international crimes, including the use of chemical weapons as an example of war crimes. On the other hand, according to the principle of judicial immunity of states, only the international responsibility of the United States for helping the Iraqi army to be armed with chemical weapons is litigious before the domestic courts of Iran, within the framework of the principle of countermeasure.

Human ahievment in industry and technology has some pros and cons. One of these ahievements is social networks. They make it possible to come into contact with each other, share interests, be familiar with other cultures, convictions and religions, and make accessible a wide variety of information. But beside aforementioned advantages, there may be some disadvantages including privacy invasion, put at risk the familial relations, disloyalty between couples, and sexual victimization. The sexual victimization refers to process of victimization in the course of information and communication technology development and utilization. This crime could be committed by sexual harassment, blackmail and pornography. The recognition of factors creating these harms in either social or familial level and in social networks is necessary in order to control the sexual harms and identify the victims so as to be protected. In this research, social prevention of sexual victimization is studied. This kind of prevention tends to improve economic, cultural and social circumstances that make the grounds of criminality. So the goal of social prevention is to suppress the external criminal factors. This is the case for example educational methods, employment, and help to start a family. On the other side there are supervisory means done in the situational prevention. Moreover, there are new management means including smart management software organizing cyberspace utilized by children and youth.

Since the formation of communities, there have been different reactions to the phenomenon of crime. In the past, in the process of defining the punishment, offender’s character was not taken into consideration but only the crime and its consequences. By positivism school, the offender’s character, “this newly emerged in criminal law”, was taken into consideration. Since then, criminal justice was realized not only according to the crime but also with respect to the offender’s character and understanding the circumstances which led to the commission of a criminal act. Since early twentieth century, it was felt the necessity of filing character dossier alongside with the criminal case in order to adopt a response proportional to the offender’s character to achieve refinement and treatment goals and to plan effectively the prevention and recidivism programs. Character dossier which is necessary to reform criminals is a record containing the comments by specialists in psychology, psychiatrist, psychologist and social workers about the criminal’s character in order to be used by the authorities to adjust the punishment to offender’s character. In Criminal Procedure Law 2013, Articles 203 and 286 predicts explicitly the character dossier filed against adults and also children. Obviously, according to changes in the Islamic Penal Code in 2013, some new proposed mechanisms including alternatives to imprisonment, probation, suspension of punishment, postponed sentencing, exemption from punishment all of which require appropriate response to the offender’s character, are not applicable without filing character dossier.

Murabaha is an Islamic contract and one of the means of Islamic banks advance. In two ways, Murabaha will be signed: murabaha that a person purchase a commodity and sell with some profit; Murabaha that in addition to the buyer and seller, the bank participates in contract. The bank purchase the commodity from the seller, on the basis of purchase order, then under the murabaha contract, sell to customer with some profit. In this type, bank may sign agent contract with customer. Also it is possible that, the bank issue credit card. In fact, murabaha referred to "Inah'' that was expressed in the Islamic jurisprudence. In this type, the contract is made by combination of purchase order and customer’s obligation to purchase from the bank, the bank’s obligation to give agent to customer, payment on the basis of credit card and selling commodity to customer. In this contract, the bank acquires ownership of the commodity, and then sells to the customer. In this agreement, customer’s obligation to purchase from the bank, is legitimate and takes its binding power from mutual consent. In our law, Article 10 of the Civil Code can be documented for the legitimacy of this agreement. But agency granted by the bank to the customer and payment by credit card, is objectionable and drawback.

The balance between protecting individual rights and, at the same time, preserving and sustaining social security is among the key tasks of the criminal justice system, which is being challenged in the context of some guarantee of performance. As in some of the crimes, the preservation of the dignity of persons and the psychological security of the community, even the possibility of declaring and expulsion of the crime should be avoided. On the other hand, the introduction of perpetrators of certain crimes-as violators of the rights of the community-is also considered necessary for the establishment of social security. Tashhir's punishment is a typical example of the above proposition that has been the subject of some of the official poetry in some of the legal material. These include items 19, 23 and 36 of the Penal Code as core and supplementary penalties, as well as Note2, Article353 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The criminal system of Islam recognizes the Tashhir punishment and is organized in a structured manner with specific objectives for deterrence and prevention. Meanwhile, Tashhir has been censured for some limited crimes and for a limited number of punishments, but its application to other torture offenses is a matter of reflection. The present paper, using a descriptive-analytical method, first addresses the question of whether the prediction of Tashhir in the scope of Ta'azir crimes violates Islamic norms and norms, and then, in a comparative approach to the laws and decrees of the United States to justify the criminalization of this punishment and the judiciary The existence of this criminal institution will be analyzed in the criminal justice system. Finally, the paper has proven that there is not only a legal and jurisprudential impediment to recruiting Tashhir punishment for imprisonment but that contemporary criminological and psychological principles continue to pursue such goals as deterrence and the prevention of the commission of certain crimes possible through the use of Tashhir punishment.

The main purpose of this article is feasibility study of privatizing affairs of judiciary with the aim of increasing judicial efficiency. For this purpose, the separation between types of judicial affairs is necessary. These affairs can be divided into inherent judicial affairs (like Settlement of disputes), administrative affairs related to the judiciary and affairs of organizations affiliated with the judiciary. It seems inherent judicial affairs cannot be transferred to other institutions or private section, but privatizing administrative affairs and affairs of organizations affiliated with the judiciary is possible. Accordingly, we analyze triple separation of judicial affairs mentioned above with look at the constitution of Iran and other related provisions and also status of privatizing judicial affairs in some countries in order to answer to main question of this article.

In commercial contracts, the parties usually agree to settle their disputes through amicable negotiations prior to refereeing them to arbitration or judiciary and hereby they will be achieved a settlement by maintaining their commercial relations with the lowest cost, time and damages. Although these agreements are very prevalent in commerce, their legal status, especially in respect of obligations of the parties and legal consequences of their breach, has not thoroughly been discussed. In this research paper, the legal status of these agreements will be first studied as an obligation on the parties to negotiate before refereeing their disputes to arbitration or judiciary. Based on such agreements, the parties are banned from referring their disputes to arbitration or judiciary before they first try to settle their disputes via amicable negotiations on a bona fide basis and on an organized manner. The breach of this obligation would also lead to a contractual liability.

One of the issues related to criminal responsibility and the principle of its individuality is the criminal responsibility arising from the other’s behavior that legislator has referred it as criminal responsibility arising from other’s behavior in 142 article of Islamic Penal Law of 2013. This means that the criminal responsibility is on a person who has not committed the crime, but is known responsible and punished due to specific conditions and based on the legislator's discretion. Before approving this law, the examples of this responsibility had been referred discretely in some laws. There is a concept called criminal responsibility of superiors (commander-ship) in the international documents that whereby military commanders or superiors are known responsible for crimes that were committed by forces under their command or control, in the lack of necessary control of their subordinates. This is one of the important issues in international criminal law and there are several reasons for its justification includes criminal responsibility arising from other’s behavior. Accordingly, a separate study of each of these concepts and identification of their relationship is important, which is discussed in the present research through study theoretic principles and refer to regulations, texts and other documents. According to results in this study, criminal responsibility of superiors can be similar criminal liability arising from other’s behavior in the internal law.
