Comparison of Victim Protection in Iranian Law and International Documents

The topic of protecting the victim is one of the most important topics in criminal law and criminology because crime is a phenomenon that mainly occurs in the relationship between the offender and the victim, and there is a necessary and binding relationship between them in such a way that there is no crime without the offender and no offense without the offender. Therefore, this article has studied and researched victim protection in Iran's criminal law and international documents by using the comparative research method and the method of information collection, a library. The findings of the article indicate that in Iranian law, researchers have paid more attention to the identification of the victim, and less attention has been paid to its rights based on international documents, and although Iran's criminal policy and international documents are similar in some areas, the difference in Iran's social and internal conditions with the field of international human rights makes the field of development and attention to the victim in Iran lag behind.
