چکیده (انگلیسی):

Transnational Organized crimes are being considered as one of the most important problems of the 21st
century. These crimes are daily increasing for various reasons. They affect different social, cultural and political
structures in transnational as well as international levels. General determination in the international level and required
coordination to prevent these crimes is shown by the UN in the form of codification and the enactment of conventions
against transnational crimes (Palermo and Merida). Iran, as one of the suitable places for these crimes, is highly affected
by them. For this reason, prevention is considered as an undeniable necessity that requires planning and policy making.
However, no particular prevention has been done and no independent body of strategies has been designated. So, in
order to exit from this situation, different prevention strategies such as pastoral and social preventions have been set
each of which can lead to the decreased number of organized crimes or people committing such crimes. Present study
having a descriptive-analytical method and gathering data through secondary sources, focuses on UN conventions
against Transnational Organized Crimes (Palermo and Merida) and tries to analyze proposed and executed plans and
strategies offered by the government of Iran against them. For this purpose, policies and positions taken by the
government of Iran against these crimes are compared to international approaches to look for their homogeneity as well
as heterogeneity. Research findings show no homogeneity between the taken measures by the government of Iran
against Transnational Organized Crimes and UN conventions (Palermo and Merida).
