Abstract
The political crime is any act whose result is the overthrowing the political and social system and damaging the rule of countries or political officials and the state leader. Rulers and government officials, especially judges, apply various methods in any time and era according to the forcing will, social contracts, regulations of the subject, or religious beliefs to protect the interests or respect the recognized rights of individuals or society, regulating social relations, and preventing aggression, abuse, and extravagance to punish, and punishing criminals. Political crime in Iran laws has been mentioned in the principle 168 of the constitutional law. In Iran laws, a political crime law was passed by the legislature in 2016 by which the legal system can investigate and issue verdicts based on the specific law of political crime, the conditions governing the trial, and issuance of its verdict, and being released to deal with this crime by referring to the general cases of Islamic punishment laws. The political crimes have been stated implicitly and explicitly in the international documents. It has been greatly tried in international societies in two recent decades to offer a united definition of political crimes and its examples or introduce its examples indirectly. In this way, the domestic laws of countries are impressed by the attitude toward criminal crimes. The attempts in the international era have led to the approval of documents explicitly and some implicitly.
