Summary/Abstract: This paper has the purpose to analyse women rights violations in Iran, studying its own judicial system, highlighting critical points in theme of human rights by a comparison with the European model. The research approach starts from the analysis, in general terms, of the Iranian legal system, with the exposure of sources of law, that helps to understand fundamental reasons of legal and judicial discrimination. The analysis continues with the overview of the structure of the criminal courts and a brief analysis of the criminal procedure. Finally, a comparison will be made between the rights envisaged by the ECHR and the UDHR with those guaranteed by Iranian legal system.
