Keywords:
Criminal responsibility, Legal entity, Assisting and taking part in crimeAbstract
One of the legislative developments in the field of criminal responsibility in the IPC acted 2013 is acceptability of criminal responsibility of legal persons. However, enforceable guarantee considered in the different rules for legal entities before adoption of new Penal Code, so that the first serious law in the field of recognition of criminal liability of legal entities mentioned in the cybercrime law but the existence of such laws and guarantee are not applicable to all crimes of legal entities. Fortunately, legislator accepted the criminal liability of legal persons not as a principle but as an exception in Article 143 of Penal Code acted in 2013. Although the legislator has taken a positive step in the field of criminal responsibility, but acts of criminal liability of legal persons in some areas, such as abetting and start crimes of legal entities faced serious challenges. Unfortunately, legislator did not act in this field perfectly, and we believe that lawmakers should review the criminal liability of legal entities.
