I think is there any organization which is the top management of the domain name(for example .com) in the internet, I just want to buy a domain name with the guarantee.

Answer
I Felix...
You should not worry too much. I presume you need to register .aero, .biz, .com, .coop, .info, .museum, .name, .net, .org, or .pro name, so just go to the site of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) http://www.internic.net/ and find out if the registar is accredited by them. There is a list here:

If the company you choose go down you remain the owner of the domain so no worries...
Let me know if you need more help..
Ciao
