M Javad Javid
M. Javad Javid[1] is an author, human rights activist, and associate professor at the University of Tehran's School of Law. His teaching interests include: Public law,[2] legal theory,[3] and philosophy of law,[4] human rights.[5] After the 2009 Iranian university dormitory raids, Professor Javid, together with 119 professors at the University of Tehran, resigned[6] in protest; however, their resignations were not accepted. They asked for the resignation of Farhad Rahbari, the appointed president of Tehran University, for his incompetence in defending the university's dignity and student lives.
Relativity theory of citizen's rights
The relativity theory of citizen's rights is an objective analysis that describes the situation externally. As "refer theory" in natural rights is based on an internal mental principle, these two, which are effective and relative to each other, present two dimensions of human beings that are practically inseparable. While human rights can be divided into two steady and variable dimensions, both are partners in establishing human rights. But the part of it which can be identified in a community is not stable in time and place. Every community, based on its collective priorities, can prefer some elements to others, which are not necessarily generalizable or universally experienced, and this may differ from one society to another. The only eternal element in these rights is fundamental human rights, although even these rights can be restricted under collective conditions.[7]
Legal philosophy of “Just Peace” theory
Peace will not last long without justice; this is the main argument of this theory. But the kind of justice that can serve as a base must have some fixed pillars. For this purpose, natural justice, which has its origins in human natural laws, is the solution. This notion of justice stands against “positive peace,” which is subordinate to states’ positive laws, the characteristics of which are relativity and pluralism. With this assumption, the kind of peace contingent upon the positive laws of states is not permanent, as this kind of justice is itself based upon societies’ public interests, and as these interests vary from time to time, the resulting peace will be variable and thus temporary. However, peace relying upon natural justice can be the best kind of peace because it originates from the laws common to all human beings and is therefore not subject to place and time, hence not relative. The present theory is an endeavor to analyze the “Just Peace Theory” based upon the “Natural Law” school of thought.
