        A Model for Promoting the Convergence of Iranian Ethnicities for Public Security in the Era of Globalization (with emphasis on the Supreme Leader's view)   Farzaneh Dashti Dr. Mohammad Rahim Eivazi   Abstract  Strengthening national unity and solidarity is one of the goals and basic categories of every state. Today's globalization with the free flow of information and the ever-expanding technology, Communication and change in interactions and relationships from micro to macro levels, has created challenges and opportunities against the international community. Pluralism is recognized as the main axis of understanding and analyzing the blend of globalization and its fate. In the area of ​​ethnicities, as in other areas, the process of globalization can have different effects and, in any case, has brought about change. And what seems important is the need for rethinking and reviewing ethnicity policies. Given the importance of the issue, the statements of the Supreme Leader will be the best guideline in this regard. Therefore, this research is an attempt to draw the desired model of convergence in Iran, with emphasis on leadership routines based on ethnicity. Therefore, the present article seeks to respond to this concern, based on its basic assumption that the model of pluralism based on Iranian-Islamic identity is the most appropriate and practical model for promoting the level of convergence of Iranian ethnic groups in the current situation, which also expresses diversity and expression of unity with respect to the conditions of the country of Iran.

        Application of the Principle of Non-Intervention in the Internal Affairs of States in Cyber Attacks   Nazanin Bradaran Dr. Homayoon Habibi   Abstract   In the information age, cyber-attacks represent a novel type regarding use of force and they can lead to create massive damages to the critical infrastructure of a government, property and loss of human lives and thus by violation of article 2, paragraph 4, of the United Nations Charter, they take into consideration as illegal use of force. But the issue is that today the legitimacy of cyber-attacks is evaluated from the non-use of force approach set forth in article 2, paragraph 4 of the charter, and in order to have an illegal intervention, cyber warfare researchers claim that cyber-attacks must lead to physical damages, but the problem is that many cyber-attacks do not result in physical damages and thus do not fall within the scope of the prohibition laid down in article 2, paragraph 4, of the charter, and according to this approach, victim states are  not able to defend themselves. But this article seeks to show that cyber-attacks, which force governments to take actions that are able to decide freely on them under the principle of sovereignty, violates the principle of non-interference in internal affairs of states and for the victim state, the right to take countermeasures is created.   Keywords: Use of Force, Cyber-Attacks, Non-Intervention Principle, Principle of the Sovereignty Manuscript profile
