The Role Of Controlled Delivery In Combating Drugs And Psychotropic Substances, A Comparative Study Between Iranian And Iraqi Laws And International Law.

Abstract

The role of Controlled delivery in combating drugs and psychotropic substances, a comparative study between Iranian and Iraqi laws and international law. delivering controlled is considered one of the methods or approaches concerned ith detecting drugs and psychotropic substances. It was first announced in the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, which was established in 1988 in 11 article of that convention, where it was defined as a new method of detecting drugs and psychotropic substances and identifying their

sources. Applying this method can lead to identifying the sources of drug production and distribution, starting from wholesalers to retailers to the individual consumer,  in addition delivering controlled paves the way to finding evidence and proof of the crime, and to knowing all people concerned with drug and even the way it arrives on them.   Based on what has been mentioned, some countries have adopted the concept of delivering controlled in their domestic laws, especially Iran and Iraq. This is because they are members of the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988. The Iranian legislation has addressed the provisions of delivering controlled in the current drug control law, and the Iraqi legislation has also addressed delivering controlled in the current law on drugs and psychotropic substances. Due to the significant spread of drugs in Iraq and Iran, primarily due to Iran's proximity to Afghanistan, the largest producer of drugs, we wrote this article to study delivering controlled , its provisions, and its legal basis in those countries, as well as to clarify the implementation methods. We also aim to examine its advantages and disadvantages in detail, comparing the Iranian and Iraqi laws and the international law. This will help determine the level of compliance of these countries in implementing controlled delivery according to international law. On the other hand, this study revealed that the Iranian legislator in the drug control law was more in line with international law regarding the provisions of controlled delivery, unlike the Iraqi law represented by the current law on drugs and psychotropic substances, where its provisions were less aligned with international law.
