By issuing them, enforcing of the verdict of court is easy in future. In spite of the similarities between two institutions, there are several differences between them including prompting of subject in the temporary order.

The Protocol charts out a new direction in the growth and development of modern biotechnology, some concerns raised about biotechnology, such as safe handling, use, and transfer of living Modified Organisms (LMOs). For LMOs intended for direct use as feed, food or processing, the developed countries are, at the beginning, obligated to put in place domestic regularity frameworks, while developing countries, including those with economies in transition, need only make decisions based or risk assessments. The question of legal system for liability and redress left upon to be decided in future.
The main objective of this review is to analyze the adequacy and relevance of such regimes to liability and redress for damage caused by transboundary movement of LMOs, in order to achieve this goal, several points including risk assessments, obligations of the states and operators, export and import of LMOs will also be addressed. Iranian National Biosafety law will also be considered. Then in the light of this study, we will consider different interpretation of article 27 of Cartagena protocol, and at the end it is concluded that it would be better if the liability is based on polluter pays principle. As for as the duties and obligations of the parties are concerned, it is important to consider not exempting the states from liabilities .This is because most entities engaged in biotechnology activities are national agricultural research centers. The states are liable both according to national tort law as well as the international public law, for their illegal acts and non-forbidden acts which cause damage to the others.
While we believe that it is possible and foreseeable to achieve a goal to adopt an international regime on liability and redress in the context of the Cartagena protocol, this research could pave the way for a legally binding instrument in international regime in the future.In response to the requirement under article 27 of the Biosafety Protocol to the Convention on Biological Diversity, further work is needed in order to clarify a system of liability and redress.

To realize this institution, we have inquired its nature from negative (independence from…) and affirmative aspect (independence in…) and we have divided it according to its base (formal and practical independence) and its subject (private and organizational independence).Then, we have found three major purposes and advantages for it: (a) watching society rights, (b) preserving judicial rights and, (c) securing individuals rights. Judicial independence joints with other legal bodies, it may mix with impartial of judge, or it may pose about persons like judge such as prosecutor and arbitrator. After all, judicial independence is not unrestrained, and in its impact scope, for securing aims which have been implied, faces with some limitations. Therefore, in addition to securing independence, there should be a system for judge responsibility which makes him to respond for his performances.Judicial independence roots in the history of legal systems and nowadays its importance has developed.

For example in France, duress is used as an excuse whereas necessity is used as form of justification.
The difference between these two forms of defense is the reaction of endangered individual .In order for an individual to use necessity as form of justification, it is important that the reaction of endangered individual must supersede the outcome of present danger, however this is not required in person with duress. In other words the least of two evils must be considered.
In other countries like United States a model penal code is used. In this law, necessity and duress are used as part of justification, if the reaction of endangered person is more beneficial to the situation but in absence of the above requirement in necessity will result in less punishment. It is important to notice that the most advanced form of justice system in this regard is Germany.
In German judicial system there is no difference between the necessity and duress as long as the reaction of endangered individual is proportionate to the threat. In that case it can be used as part of justification; otherwise it is used as an excuse.
In Iranian justice system, the legislative body does not recognize the duress and necessity as part of any forms of justification; rather it is seen as an excuse.
Regarding the basic criminalization and justification, it is necessary that if the reaction of an endangered individual supersedes the outcome of a danger or threat then it must be considered as a justification. This important issue however is not discussed in our judicial system but the courthouses and judges can take this issue into consideration.In reviewing the criminal justice systems of many countries one can easily see the difference between the duress and necessity.
