Abstract

International non-governmental organizations-consisting of members other than governments, symbolise change and development in international law. The International Union of Notaries, as an international non-governmental organization, since its establishment (1948) has taken steps towards goals such as harmonizing, promoting and implementing the basic, practical and ethical principles of the notary system, and this has been done through cooperation with national notary organizations in countries and conducting legal studies to formulate and develop these systems based on the aforementioned principles. In terms of its current situation, it can be seen that it has been successful in this direction. The functions and interactions of the Union, including its role in the formulation and development of international law, using the tools of convergence of registration laws and notary systems, and communication and cooperation with other governmental and non-governmental organizations and institutions in the field of international issues, have made significant progress. This research, in analyzing its main purpose, a detailed review of the International Union of Notaries, its institutions and functions, using the analytical method and the opinions of the panel of experts without bias and the involvement of the author's personal opinions and with a realistic attitude, has criticized and analyzed this issue.
