Abstract
Background and Aim: The formation of transnational crimes, the globalization of crime and the inability of domestic legal systems to combat these crimes have led to establishment of international courts and the establishment of the International Criminal Court, as well as the recognition of universal jurisdiction in domestic courts; Although the presence of a lawyer is not possible according to legal rules, ethical principles and teachings require that a lawyer be able to defend his client at the international level. The purpose of this study is to explain the need for the globalization of advocacy in the light of ethical principles.
Materials and Methods: This article has been done by descriptive-analytical method, using library resources and taking notes.
Ethical Considerations: This article has been prepared and compiled based on the ethical principles of honesty and trustworthiness.
Findings: Findings show that with the process of globalization following the development of transportation and communication, the emergence and expansion of cyberspace, increasing movement and migration, new opportunities and areas for citizens has been provided to file lawsuits in various courts at the international level, and in this regard, following the international lawsuits, it is necessary to defend the convicts in the international scene, that national and international laws should take steps to facilitate the globalization of advocacy in line with the changes that have taken place.
Conclusion: Today, with the removal of borders, we are witnessing globalization and consequently, the increase of crimes. The formation of international courts and international police to combat transnational crimes also confirms the need for the globalization of advocacy. Therefore, this has been emphasized in international documents. There are also problems that challenge the possibility of globalization of advocacy, including legal aspects such as the principle of territorial jurisdiction and the condition of citizenship in issuing a license for a lawyer.
