The progressive and break structure nature of the change, which has led to the overcome of international human rights standards over domestic laws, has required governments to change approaches in the domestic legal order, in such a way that their national rules and procedures are compatible and coordinated with these superior rules. The Islamic Republic of Iran, as a member of the international community and committed to the provisions of some human rights documents, is also obliged to observe these standards. One of these human rights standards that has become a mandatory rule in the international community is the prohibition of degrading and humiliating punishments, including flogging. In this study, the necessity of eliminating this punishment in penal crimes from domestic laws has been addressed using an analytical-descriptive method.
