بررسی تطبیقی مجازات قاچاق مواد مخدر از دیدگاه قوانین افغانستان و ایران

Abstract (English)

trafficking is one of the most significant and complex forms of transnational organized crime, posing serious threats to national security, public health, and social stability in the region, particularly in Afghanistan and Iran. The transnational and network-based nature of this phenomenon has made it impossible to combat effectively through domestic measures alone, necessitating coordinated criminal policies as well as effective legislative and enforcement mechanisms. Due to their unique geographical and geopolitical positions, Afghanistan and Iran lie along major regional routes for the production and transit of narcotic drugs and are therefore directly confronted with the legal and social consequences of drug trafficking. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of drug trafficking under the legal systems of Afghanistan and Iran. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach based on documentary sources. The findings indicate that although both countries have adopted a stringent approach toward combating drug trafficking, they differ in terms of legislation, the type and severity of punishments, and the methods of enforcement and implementation. Afghanistan primarily relies on imprisonment and punishments based on Islamic legal principles in addressing drug trafficking, whereas Iran has adopted a broader criminal policy by criminalizing a wide range of trafficking- related conduct—from preparatory acts to distribution and by providing diverse criminal sanctions.
