| Summary: | After legislating for one century, jurisdiction regarding Iranian victims was established in Iranian Penal Act approved in 2013, as allocated in article 8 mainatining Iranian court is competent to investigate unconditionally offences committed aboard by foreigners against Iranians including crimes whose punishments are Hodud, Qisas, and Diya. In this respect, Sharia-based Mansous (written in holy Quran and sacred sayings)Taaziraat on due observation note of article 115 must also be included in the abovementioned Act; yet, as to Mansousless Taazir crimes, jurisdictional authority of Iranian court depends on the reciprocal criminality and non-conviction in the country where the crime is occurred; Additionally, when the complaint is introduced, victim must maintain Iranian nationality until the proceeding is ended. Iranian Penal Act is applied on lapse of time and extension of time if the offender is persecuted by Iranian court and when the offender is found in or restored to the territory of Iran. It should be noted that extension of time is not started at the time of crime occurrence. If the crime committed abroad against Iranian nationals is occurred in high seas or lands without government, then Iranian court is competent for all crimes except Mansousless Taaziraat crimes. |
