چکیده:
Bribery and corruption are among the most important examples of corrupt crimes, to the extent that the United Nations Convention Against Corruption considers offering bribes to public officials and their bribery as the first instance of corruption and has asked member states to criminalize it in their domestic laws. These crimes, which are usually considered among the crimes against public security and peace in legal language, cause public trust in government agencies to be lost, and the healthy process of government affairs is damaged, and individuals abuse privileges for themselves that they do not deserve.

Also, criminal responses related to these crimes are examined, and legislative defects in this area are identified and suggestions are made to address them.
