Abstract

Objective: Iran has increasingly confronted with the problem of TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS in recent years. In 1383 (2004) Iranian parliament (majlis) ratified the Act against HUMAN TRAFFICKING (hereinafter the' Act') which is in comparison to international standards analyzed in this article.Method: This study has been carried out by desriptive and legal analytical method. Library and documents has been the main tools for research.Findings: TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS, smuggling of MIGRANTS and smuggling of body parts are manifestations of profitable illegal activities transnationally committed by ORGANIZED groups. These crimes because of their destructive social, moral, human and economical effects have attracted attentions in national and international scenes. Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS, Especially WOMEN AND CHILDREN, and Protocol against the Smuggling of MIGRANTS by Land, Sea and Air, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational ORGANIZED Crime were elaborated in December 2000 and entered into force in 25 December 2003 and 28 January 2004 respectively. Under the influence of international developments, Iranian parliament passed the Act. It has a suppressive approach in response to human smugglers imposing long terms of imprisonment. Notwithstanding this, the Act does not properly protect the victims and witnesses.Results: Although ratification of the Act is regarded an important step for combating HUMAN TRAFFICKING, nonetheless the criminal policy of Iranian legislature has been scattered in connection with various manifestations of the transnational ORGANIZED crimes; the Act has been discussed and ratified separate from the other manifestations like narcotics smuggling, corruption, money laundering etc. Furthermore the Act suffers from some defects and shortcoming including: non-definition of 'group' which has been used in the Act; the 'transnational' and 'organized' characteristics of HUMAN TRAFFICKING are neglected which resulted in inter alia failure to provide international cooperations; and victims of the crime are not appropriately protected. Providing protective measures for victims and making arrangements for their safe repatriation are necessary. Finally, keeping in mind the fact that human traffickers frequently forge travel and identity documents, legislating preventive measures ensuring security and control of these documents is strongly recommended.
