In the legal world, a person is not only referred to as a human being. In fact, in the world of law, a person has a more general concept that includes both human and non-human. The aim of this study was to compare real and legal personality with virtual personality from a moral perspective, as one of the important principles of Iranian law. In this regard, by understanding ethics and its philosophy and with a view to moral theories, their impact on the concepts of real and legal personality in comparison with virtual personality was examined.

One of the important issues in cyberspace discussions is the issue of personality in this space and its dimensions. Personality, ethics and character is a complex concept of the real world with various philosophical and practical implications that is also important in cyberspace corresponding to the real world. One of the problems of cyberspace is actually hiding the identity of individuals, which will increase the likelihood of their abuse. The destruction of social morality is also one of the existing concerns that, if not properly addressed, will have far-reaching negative consequences. Unfortunately, virtual persons still lack domestic and international legal frameworks and regulations. This has made it possible to understand the effects of residence, citizenship, security responsibilities, taxes, etc. on individuals and legal entities in the law, but the legal vacuum for virtual persons is still evident in domestic and international affairs.

In all wars, the only group that suffers even more than the military is the civilians, because they are the target of these conflicts due to their physiological condition, and because they are less able to defend themselves, they are more at risk than others. Individuals are exposed and more exposed to violence and violations of rights and freedoms than any other individual or group, and the majority of victims are refugees and displaced persons. Given the importance of ethics in international conflicts, this article examines the nature of humanitarian rights for women and children in international conflicts and their effects, as well as reviews the protection mechanisms and human rights of women and children in armed conflicts in the international legal system. Humanitarian has paid off.

The enemy always tries to subdue the other side by putting pressure on the civilian population, and in this unequal scene, the first people to be targeted are women and children. Since the harm of this part of human society has a great impact on the health and well-being of societies, the need for the efforts of moral thinkers and scientific elites to develop and provide moral, legal and executive solutions is doubled. Studies show that the rules of international armed conflict impose minimum obligations on the parties to the conflict, as well as the use of tools and methods of warfare, which may lead to liability for breaches of these obligations.

Utilitarianism is a school whose founders have justified it by emphasizing consequentialism as a public interest. The school of utilitarianism is a moral and naturalistic school that justifies principles such as justice and individual and collective freedoms. For utilitarian, one cannot rely solely on individual interests and neglect the collective interest or group interest. Human nature requires us to live socially, and social life connects the destinies of all members of society. Acquisition of rights from the perspective of utilitarian is a basic principle that should be chosen after recognizing the right and its type. This view has influenced many fundamental social concepts, one of which is human rights, and the present study was designed to examine the role of utilitarianism in the development of human rights.

Human rights are a pervasive ideal that is increasingly prevalent in today's society, so that many of its rules are becoming inviolable in general. The task of pragmatic utilitarianism is to determine the greatest triumph of good over evil (right over disenfranchisement). Utilitarian claim that they have been able to provide a comprehensive and absolute criterion for distinguishing right from wrong. Utilitarian emphasize the greatest benefit to the group in advancing their policy on generations of human rights.

Responsibility is a moral component. Liability usually arises from liability, according to which the person is legally liable for the damage he or she has caused to another. One of the most important parts of civil law is civil liability, and since the main purpose of civil liability rules is to compensate for material and moral damages and to repair the damage, the government is no exception to this rule. Obviously, sometimes this responsibility takes on a global dimension and obliges governments to be accountable. This article attempts to describe the ethical dimensions of governments' civil liability for "biosphere".

Examining the responsibility of countries from the perspective of ethics, opinions and judicial procedures is one of the necessities of protection and exploitation of the world environment. The next responsibility is moral, and the ethics embedded in the civil liability of governments are based on a range of intrinsic value principles that are twofold in human-centered and ecological-centered. In recent years, proper human interaction with the world and the solution of global crises have been sought in returning to the foundations of judicial procedures in the international system. Compared to other countries in the world, unfortunately, it must be admitted that Iran has not had an acceptable record in this field due to the problems caused by environmental pollution and damage to the world environment, the lack of accountability of the government and the inefficiency of the judiciary. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent damage to the global environment by designing and developing preventive measures and adopting precise and comprehensive laws and regulations in this field.

The coexistence of human beings requires the observance of moral etiquette, which is called civil ethics in ethics and leads to normative order. In order for civil ethics to have an executive guarantee, a set of laws was formed in the society under the title of civil procedure. One of the lawsuits in this regard is the harassment lawsuit. There are complex issues in the harassment lawsuit that the Code of Civil Procedure has not addressed well. In this article, while paying attention to the issue of civil ethics and the laws that protect it, the similarities and differences of harassment lawsuits from other similar concepts are considered and the manner of its implementation in the civil procedure system is explained.

Civil ethics is a necessity of urban civilization and is very close to the concepts of social solidarity and social order. Of course, without regard to individual conscience, one cannot expect morality to be institutionalized in civil society, but in order to establish social order, there is a need for laws and regulations that provide an executive guarantee for civil morality. The civil procedure system may be a way to bring civil ethics under the protection of the law. In the meantime, the way civil procedure deals with harassment lawsuits can be considered as an example. In fact, this law, under the pretext of forbidding the exercise of personal rights and maintaining normative and public order, has taken the basis of the right of possession of persons and, as a result, has invaded the property of persons. In such circumstances, it is possible that the possessing owner was deprived of his possessive possession due to the lack of a record of possession. In this case, it became clear that the country's civil procedure needs to be fundamentally reformed to ensure normative order and protection of civil ethics.

Folk beliefs include myths, stories, poems, music, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs about luck and sore eyes, mother lullabies, indigenous carols, mirrors, rituals and traditions, and are always full of spirit. With tyranny and blackness and perseverance against oppression. The themes in the folk poems of Khuzestan about the war express the background of oral literature, culture, history, geography and the birth of committed and committed poetry that shows the resistance and stability of the people of this region during the war. The most important purpose of this study is to find ethical components such as commitment in oral literature and folklore related to the war in Khuzestan province.

Khuzestan poetry and its literature are related to its unique environment. The poetry of this region, due to the climatic affiliations of the poets, has many indigenous elements that confront us with a special type of poetry that by examining it, on the one hand, we can become more familiar with the indigenous elements of Khuzestan and on the other hand We become a special poetic style in which each poet composes poems based on his own spirits and incorporates climatic elements into his poetry with a certain elegance. Considering that Khuzestan province, as the center and cradle of stability and resistance during the war, is imposed, the poems and popular literature of this province are undoubtedly influenced by the holy war and defense, and by looking at these poems, we find that they are full of moral components. Because they are commitment.

For several centuries, there has been a debate about the dimensions of intellectual property to support the thinkers of society and prevent their exploitation. Unfortunately, this invisible and powerful asset is increasingly vulnerable. Therefore, establishing favorable regulations, guaranteeing proper criminal enforcement and effective enforcement of laws in order to protect these valuable rights is necessary and inevitable. Therefore, the present study was formed with the aim of investigating the need for criminal protection of intellectual property rights by looking at its moral basis.

Regarding the position of ethics in intellectual property law, two levels can be considered: one is the philosophical level, which is beyond the rules of law, and the other is within the legal system, which is related to the post-law. Unfortunately, national measures have not been sufficient to provide comprehensive (moral and legal) protection of intellectual property, as the issue of protection within a particular country is no longer relevant. Rather, the facilitation and enhancement of relations and trade between nations necessitates greater criminal protection at the international level. The penal system of the Islamic Republic of Iran has regulations on the protection of intellectual property rights, but these penal regulations cover only some branches of intellectual property rights, and in many cases the penal system of the Islamic Republic of Iran faces a vacuum.

Customs in the world of business today is one of the most important pillars that regulates trade relations between individuals and legal entities, private, public and international law. Among the actors in this field, in addition to national and transnational governments and companies, there is a new phenomenon called the market. The market plays an important role in considering values ​​in economic and customs activities, and a moral economy is formed when economic interactions, while preserving values, allow access to ethical markets. Given the importance of customs and ethical markets in economics, the present article was formed with the aim of reviewing ways to address customs disputes in the light of economic regulations and market ethical considerations.

Exercising the right to freedom of trade, but as a liberal teaching from the generations of human rights, whether or not, causes some inequalities in the social arena and activates governments and trade union systems to legally control and monitor relations. The economy has become a society. In this regard, the role of economic regulation is considered important and effective in the customs proceedings, which are managed by administrative and quasi-judicial institutions, according to the ethical considerations of the market. Studies show the effectiveness of economic regulation and attention to market ethical considerations in resolving customs lawsuits of Iranian law from a substantive perspective, including economic analysis of regulatory law and compliance with the principles of due diligence and from an analytical perspective on the role of active judges in regulatory order and importance. Pay attention to the law in handling customs disputes.

Dust is one of the most important forms of air pollution. Pursuant to Article 21 of the declaration on the principle of non-harmful use of land, states are responsible, in accordance with the charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law, for arranging for activities within their competence or oversight to cause harm to the environment of other countries or regions is not outside their national jurisdiction. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the principle of prohibition of harmful use of land and dealing with environmental damage of fine dust in international law with emphasis on the moral responsibility of countries.

Undoubtedly, controlling and managing the particulate matter crisis and dealing with its environmental damage is beyond the duties of a country and requires the formation of an international structure and the cooperation of international institutions in this field. To combat particulate matter, in addition to paying attention to the importance of environmental ethics and emphasizing the responsibility of governments in relation to environmental crises, governments need to strengthen international cooperation to create regional and international convergence with each other in order to stabilize the sand and fight against desertification and use of global capacities and credits to deal with dust. To achieve this goal, the application of international law and its ethical principles such as the principle of non-harmful use of land and the principles of good neighborliness and cooperation and the principle of responsibility of countries for environmental damage in the field of transboundary pollution and the principle of immediate information and when it comes to transboundary environmental damage, they can be effective.
