Scientific progress and development is one of the significant issues and hot debates of the Iranian government. There are some researches and seminars carried out and held regarding influential factors of scientific progress. Unfortunately there is no proper place for legal and institutional factors but exceptionally and partially (intellectual property rights factor). My idea is that scientific progress without building a proper legal and institutional environment is impossible or unsustainable. So, in this essay, I tended to introduce some key factors of the mentioned environment by comparative an inductive methods. Those factors are: making law on research, protection of academic freedom, protection of freedom of thought and freedom of information, protection of intellectual properties, promotion of data sharing and regulation making on scientific parks and complexes and scientific associations.

Because of its very dynamic nature and its close ties with global commerce, intellectual property law is one of the liveliest areas of law. The significant of this branch of law is manifested in the debate which is going on between developed and developing countries in terms of the scope of the protection of intellectual property rights. On the one hand, the developed country argue the stronger protection of intellectual property rights increases and facilitates the transfer of technology to the developing countries but, on the other hand, developing countries consider intellectual property rights as a means for development not an end by itself and as such are in favor some moderation in the scope and length of intellectual property rights. Moreover, in addition to the concept of development, the emergence and expansion of internet has also caused new developments in the field of intellectual property rights. These developments have posed new challenges which shall be discussed in this paper.

Whenever there is a debt on someone, the debtor can pay back his debt and ask the creditor for a clearance. Should the creditor refuse to accept the debt, this could be construed as an abuse and harm to the debtor who can turn to the court or any other competent authority. The court or the other competent authority could accept the debt on behalf of the creditor. In case the debtor is not able to reach a court or a competent authority, he/she should ascertain and set aside the debt and is on longer responsible to guard the debt should it perish without his/her fault. Law shall not assign any responsibility to debtor to look after the property allocated to the debt, otherwise this allocation will not make sense. The treatment of any property derived from this debt which is allocated to the creditor but has not been handed over to him/her could a topic for debate.

La révision de la constitution consiste à corriger le texte constitutionnel par suppression, adjonction ou modification. Dans la plupart des cas, les constitutions contiennent des règles relatives à leurs propres modifications. Cet élément constitutif est en même temps leur partie matérielle, c’est-à-dire qui concerne la production des normes constitutionnelles. Il s’agit de savoir à qui appartient et comment s'exerce le pouvoir constituant chargé de modifier la constitution. La révision des constitutions qui suppose l’usage du pouvoir constituant entraîne la reconnaissance de ce pouvoir constituant à certains pouvoirs constitués. Le pouvoir de révision est un pouvoir qui s’exerce dans le cadre prévu par les constitutions. Ce cadre est appelé la procédure de révision constitutionnelle. Il existe selon les Etats une grande variété de procédures de révision des constitutions rigides. Si les constitutions souples se révisent aisément, selon la procédure d’adoption de la loi ordinaire, les constitutions rigides utilisent parfois une procédure en cinq phases : l’initiative, la décision de réviser, l’élaboration, l’approbation et la promulgation de la loi de révision constitutionnelle.Pour qu’une constitution soit à l’abri des mouvements, elle doit être ni trop rigide, ni trop souple.

The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the crime of Genocide was adopted by the UN General Assembly in December 1948. In former Yugoslavia and Rwanda occurred many heinous crimes and majority ruling powers tried to destroy Molem and totsi minority groups. The UN Security Council established the International Criminal Tribunal for The former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR). The UN Security Council considers that punishing perpetrators is a step to restore international peace and security. I try to show developments of contemporary international law on the protection of minorities by analyzing the practice of Ad hoc courts in finding actus reus and mens rea in particular.
