Abstract
Background and Aims: the purpose of this study is to explain the effects of the behavior of the obligor in the process of performance of obligations as an obstacle to the performance of obligations within the framework of the Convention on International Sales and Iranian law and its jurisprudential foundations.
Materials and Methods: This research is of theoretical type and the research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection is library.
Ethical Considerations: In order to organize this research, while observing the authenticity of the texts, honesty and fidelity have been observed.
Findings: The behavior of the obligated party as an obstacle to the fulfillment of the obligation is analyzed in Iranian law and its jurisprudential foundations by resorting to the general principles of the fulfillment of obligations; while the Convention has a special provision regarding this situation, and this provision is also stated under the section on exemption from liability.
Conclusion: In Iranian law and the Convention, examples of the behavior of the obligor in the process of non-fulfillment of the obligation are not explicitly mentioned. However, given that in Iranian law, the legal analysis of the role of the obligor is carried out by resorting to the interpretation of general rules, while in the Convention, this is done by resorting to the provisions of Articles 79 and 80, it is very likely that there will be a divergence of opinions in the procedure of dispute resolution authorities within the framework of Iranian law compared to the Convention.
