Iran has also experienced two full-scale revolutions in the twentieth century, the latter of which had large and important regional and international consequences that put Iran on the radar screen of the great status quo powers. Now in the twenty-first century, it confronts issues and experiences problems which have important implications for its future development and external relations. The world around Iran has also witnessed many great developments through old to modern eras in which new European ideas and way of life including industrialization conveyed throughout the whole continents. These developments in the modern international relations are still in place and despite of the widely accepted principles of self autonomous and equality among the nations, some collapse while others are struggling for. In the meantime, some trends such as globalization seek not only to revolutionize the whole system of the modern world but to interfere with the internal affairs of the nations including Iran. - Law Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.worldconferencecalendar.com/component/option,com_conference/page,show_ad/catid,8/adid,163/Itemid,26/ The last twenty-four months has seen a variety of changes politically, economically, legally, and internationally. How have we as an academic community embraced these changes and conveyed them to our students? - Law Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.worldconferencecalendar.com/component/option,com_conference/page,show_ad/catid,8/adid,162/Itemid,26/ Recent years have seen a rapid growth of interest in just war theory. The current political climate has confronted us with important and difficult questions about, amongst other things, the moral status of combatants, the moral status of non-combatants, the possibility of wars waged by non-state actors, and the conditions under which one can be said to have a just cause for war. Many writers take the answers to these questions to be based, at least in part, on considerations about what individuals may do in self-defence, or other-defence. Others have denied the existence of any substantive relationship between the ethics of self-defence and the ethics of national-defence. This conference, hosted by the Sheffield Philosophy department, will bring together leading researchers in the field, and offer an opportunity for scholars to present recent research in this area. Submissions from those working in related fields, such as Law, Politics and International Relations, are also welcome. - Law Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.worldconferencecalendar.com/component/option,com_conference/page,show_ad/catid,8/adid,156/Itemid,26/ The conference is directed to a multidisciplinary audience from the fields of medicine, mental health, forensic interviewing, child welfare, advocacy, law, investigations, education, family support, administration, public policy and research.

The emergence of nonadversarial justice in common law systems is arguably the most significant and wideranging development in legal systems internationally in the past thirty years. Determinative justice models are changing methods as common law lawyers and civil code lawyers compare notes. There is a desire to make lawyer controlled adversary processes more user friendly. The conference seeks to explore the theory and practical application of these approaches by courts, the legal profession and their implications for the role of law and government in society and legal education and the relationship between these approaches in theory and practice. - Law Sun, 13 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.worldconferencecalendar.com/component/option,com_conference/page,show_ad/catid,8/adid,103/Itemid,26/ The Australasian Institute of Judicial Administration is pleased to present a conference on ‘Mental Health Issues and the Administration of Justice’.
