Economic Law aspects of the Japan - Iran Relations (Past, Present and the Future); Dealings without Making Friendship

Abstract

This article studies the economic law aspects of the Japan - Iran relations and reaches to the conclusion that the line between Japan and Iran is a two way road taking consumer products, projects requirements, loans and technical assistance from Japan to Iran and returning oil and gas from Iran. This line, although established out of the both parties urgent need, was never elaborated or improved to shape up an equal and just relationship and its existence and stable operation was never supported by conclusion of a long term treaty and with sanctions it is now extremely narrowed.
