Abstract

The ratification of treaties in Iran is the scene of confrontation between two distinct legal systems. In this conflict, any inconsistent interpretation of the foundations of these legal systems results in different legal effects. In fact, the dichotomy between Sharia law and the constitution with the principles of international law, which can be seen in treaties, imposes certain legal requirements on the executive and legislative branches, and the recognition of these requirements depends on the opinions of the guardian council in reviewing international instruments to complete the country's foreign policy in the field of international agreements. The main question of this research is to examine the legal requirements governing bilateral or multilateral agreements, which is written in a descriptive-analytical method. From the total opinions of the guardian council, two substantive and structural rules can be taken in the review of the approvals, which narrate the procedure of this council in examining the emerging issues of international law, which ultimately led to the protection of the people's rights.
