Abstract: 
International Instruments on Family can be studied within various fields including Private law, Public International law, Private International law and International Human Rights Law. Although, at the first glance, it seems family instruments are just related to privacy of citizens, it covers different themes associated with public order, security, morals and well being of community which have effective outcomes at national and international level. The Persian Gulf countries have interactions with international human rights mechanisms. The main question of this paper is whether the approach of Persian Gulf Countries toward international family instruments is similar and cohesive or they have adopted different and contradictory approaches and what is the impact of their united or divergent approach on regional peace and security. The methodology of this paper is to analyze International family Instruments from public international law and international human rights law perspectives. The paper will be concluded with some theoretical and practical suggestions and recommendations for the policy makers and related authorities of Islamic Republic of Iran.
