Since 1971, and concurrent with the dissemination of John Rawls’s theory of justice, his views on the concept of justice and its execution in the society has been at the forefront of the recent theories in the twentieth century. In the second principle of this theory (called the principle of difference) Rawls focuses on substances such as distributive and redistributive justice, material justice, inequality in favor of the poors and vulnerable deciles and ensuring welfare for all. As we do not expect law and specially the branch of civil responsibility to be indifferent to new approaches toward justice, this essay tries to analyze the first article of the Iranian civil responsibility Act in the context of Rawls’s theory.It is assumed that this article plays an important role in the legal system in this country. From the authors point of view the discussed article contains some characteristics like following legal formalism, centralization on formal justice (vs. material justice) and tendency to execute corrective justice (vs. distributive or redistributive justice). These features lead to obvious differences with Rawls’s considered approach about justice and equity.

Public goods are used to meet the essentianl needs of the people in general. Acceleration of globalization besides other reasons, have conferred a global characteristic to these goods which the shortage in their provision at international level, necessitates further cooperation between states and international organizations in their distribution. This idea was first introduced in Economy, but due to its influence onprovision of peoples’ needs in different life domains, it can be considered as a thorough theory covering a wide range of issues especially in distribution of resources among individuals and countries. The present article aims at exploring the distributive attitude in public goods theory and its place among other notable theories regarding distributive justice. Further, while presenting examples of global public goods and describing the situation of their provision in the world, the author tries to propose suggestions for refinement of the global provision of these goods notably global financial resources which is necessary for provision of other public goods.
