One of the rather new issues in the realm of protective victimology of the national and above all, internationally levels is the study and investigating particular types of victimization. Accordingly, it is advisable that a new branch of protective victimology concerning special vulnerable victims be created which could be referred to as differential protective victimology. To this end, The present paper, briefly investigating the concept and definition of vulnerable victims and its special kinds of protective measures adopted based on the differential criminal policies, attempts to answer a basic question as to whether the urgency for differentially protecting vulnerable victims has been well-established in criminal sciences teaching? In response, we can conclude that although in most criminal sciences teaching mentioned in this paper, the protection of victims, especially vulnerable victims and differentially protecting have not been directly and clearly discussed, a logically relationship between criminal sciences teaching and their concepts and contents with the urgency for a special protective of vulnerable victims could be established through indirect and covert interpretation. To put it differentially, the issue of protecting vulnerable victims is hidden in the heart of each of the above-mentioned branches. Manuscript profile

Current regulations are based through internationally accepted norms and political relations between countries. Current affairs in the tumultuous world of today requires cooperation between governments. Citizens of each country determine the aspects of these relationships. By the rule of law governments have to protect their citizens’ right in other countries; in case a citizen face judiciary hardship in other countries, his/her government will support him/her, as long as this support does not interfere with the laws of the country, where the citizen has his/her residence. Even citizens who either travel to other countries or live in foreign countries may become victims, due to the violation of their human rights by the guest countries. Such crimes may also fall under the jurisdiction of the international criminal court. The victims deserve the support of their governments, which is usually of consular nature. The aspects of the support is determined either by the law of victims’ country or by the 1963 Vienna Convention. The government of the victim's country decides how to implement the support.

On change of nationality, Classic and Feminist schools have their own views in international law. This study was aimed at answering the question, of what reasoning classic and feminist schools are based on as related to change of nationality due to marriage. The assumption here is that, the classic school disregards human rights as related to change of nationality due to marriage, while the feminist school emphasizes human rights and rejects any kind of discrimination on the basis of sex on the question of nationality. Specifically, the study sought to bring into focus and the some time review human rights which concern women's nationality. Elevating human rights and implementing them as related to women is contingent upon recognizing the same rights for men and women concerning their nationality and rejecting any discrimination in this regard. To investigate the legal concepts and elements related to this topic and also describing and categorizing them a descriptive method was followed. To evaluate those concepts and elements a critical analysis was done. The results revealed that in the classic school the focus is on political consideration and national interests of the country with which the man is affiliated, which means disregarding human rights. on the other hand, the feminist school emphasizes human rights and introduces the principle of the equality of men and women, on the question of nationality, thus rejecting any discrimination in this regard.
