Abstract

The debate about the fundamental human rights now has been challenged the classic separation of public and private law. Although most countries have rejected this separation, but there is no consensus about the way and the model ofapplication of fundamental human rights on private law. It means that every legal system depending on its special structure, has a different view about the effect of fundamental human rights on private law. By implementing a descriptive-analyzing method of research, this study aims to analyze the basis and the goals of resorting to fundamental right in private law andshow the impact of this kind of law in the contract, tort and property law. Subsequently, the status of the subject in the Iranian legal system could be represented. Briefly, now it could be mentioned that in the legal systems of the world, especially in Europe, the effects of fundamental human rights on private law has been definitively accepted and a little remaining disagreement is only about the manner of such an effect. However, in Iranian legal system, because of the lack of constitutional court and reluctance of conventional courts in referencing to these kind of rights to interpret private relations, have caused an ambiguity in qualification and scope of fundamental human rights. But in spite of this fact, it seems that the structure of Iranian legal system has the required capacity to accept the theory of indirect impact of fundamental human rights on private law.
