Abstract

The requirements of international relations, such as the diversity of resources and needs in the framework of the global community, make it inevitable for countries to conduct commercial exchanges at the international level. In this regard, organizations such as the World Trade Organization have facilitated such exchanges. In order for countries to be able to join the aforementioned organization, it is necessary to match their goals and principles with the rules of the organization. Therefore, in line with the progress of economic conditions, the principles related to export and import in countries should be regulated in a way that can be useful and effective in the process of joining and joining the World Trade Organization. For a very long time, Iran has been trying to change its principles and rules in line with the principles of the World Trade Organization. The important reason for the delay in the process of our country's accession to the said organization is the existence of a series of contradictions in trade and foreign policies. The purpose of the present research is to examine the foundations of Iran's accession to the World Trade Organization and its effect on oil contracts from the perspective of public law, which is a descriptive-analytical method. The results indicate that the foundations of Iran's accession to the World Trade Organization are the existence of some special concessions, public interests and international standards. Iran's accession to the World Trade Organization has some dual effects on oil contracts in the form of achievements and consequences. Keywords: oil contract, World Trade Organization, Iran, public law.
