Criminal Responsibility Due to Other Action in Iran

Criminal responsibility due to other action is not just one of the exceptions in fundamental principles ofcriminal law, in fact, reflects the perpetrator s fault. Criminal responsibility in accordance with Article142 of the Islamic Penal Code, adopted in 2013, means that a person is legally responsible for other acts,whether or not committed in blame, or in relation to the outcome of another act of committing theoffense. Therefore, with regard to the absence of an instance for the elementary part of the article and itsneed for a clear legal text and the flexibility of all the examples to the second paragraph of Article 142 ofthe Islamic Penal Code, it is possible, in relation to Articles 508 and 528 of the above law, to do this. Itfinds that a criminal offender will be punished on account of a non-verb under Article 142 and will notbe punished by other stewards, unlike all other cases related to the assignment that both the causativeagent and the persecutor are punished according to the extent of the effect of the action or on the basis ofbeing present. However, under article 142, only the criminal prosecutor will be punished, not thesteward.
