Abstract

After many demarcations, the new Islamic penal code has been finally approved by the parliment and came into force since the May 2013 following its confirmation by the Guardian Council. Compaired with the former code enforced since 1991, the last code include some innovations which have made it larger. One of these innovations is concerned to prediction of proofs of evidence in the penal code whereby, the fifth part of the first book of the new code has considered the general rules of proofs of evidence. Considering that the legislator for the first time has collected the proofs of evidence, normally concerned to the formal legislation, in a substantive criminal code, an analysis of the new approach seems to be so essential to study. In this article we have tried to study critically this policy from different aspects. This approach leads us to a new perspective on the Islamic Penal Code, which, while not as prominent, raises important issues in legal analysis.
