Legislator in Iran, along with taking some innovative measures such as recognizing the right to visit a lawyer in the stage under supervision and paying attention to the role of a lawyer and his legal assistance for children in the stage of protesting the sentence, regarding the benefit of criminal children from a lawyer in the trial stage, adopted two different approaches. In this way, the existence of a lawyer during the proceedings is not mandatory, but can be applied as a matter of law, regarding crimes of degrees six to eight, as well as other crimes without the legal punishment of imprisonment. However, in crimes that are under the jurisdiction of the First Criminal Court, and in the crimes that require the payment of Diya or Arsh more than one-fifth of the full Diah, as well as in Tazeeri crimes of the sixth degree and above, the presence of a lawyer in the proceedings is assumed to be mandatory. The study of international documents regarding the effects of legal assistance of lawyers for children shows that these documents have paid attention to the role and position of lawyers in the protection of children in the three stages of pre-trial, trial and appeal.

In the Code of Criminal Procedure, in line with international documents, the domestic legislator has paid more attention to the role of lawyers and legal aids in dealing with children's crimes.

With observing appeal the Iranian Code of Criminal Procedure 1392 has not presented a specific definition for the appeal proceedings. Therefore; the present note with applying descriptive-analytic method and the comparative paradigms the basis and nature of the appeal proceedings in the Iranian legal system with a look at the legal criteria of France has been investigated. The findings prove that the consideration of the appeal proceedings in the penal code of Iran has been shaped based on accepting the right to appeal for both parties of the file and the enforcement of the supervisory liability of the Supreme Court of Iran based on Article 161 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran (The Supreme Court is to be formed for the purpose of supervising the correct implementation of the laws by the courts, …). from the side of the nature with seeing the teachings of the French law and with considering the points of appeal this finding emerges that the appeal proceedings is not merely formal proceedings because the Supreme Court in its procedure has paid attention to the non-conformity with the substantive rules and because of it, this kind of procedures being legitimate which is different from subject-matter jurisdiction is prior. Despite customarily in France appeal is the third instance (stage) of proceedings, meanwhile it is necessary to be paid attention to the difference between the concept of the degrees of litigations and the stage of litigation, in the penal code of Iran appeal is an ordinary method to protest and is the second instance of proceedings.

Prosecution of the accused is one of the main steps of the criminal prosecution process, which has been included among the powers and duties of the competent authority in the matter of prosecution in order to preserve individual and social interests.The decision to prosecute, in accordance with the rules of Iranian national proceedings, and in the field of international criminal law in accordance with the Statute of the International Criminal Court, is borne by the prosecutor.The study of the provisions of Iranian criminal law, along with an examination of the provisions of the Statute of the International Criminal Court as a valid and standard document on how to organize criminal proceedings through the confrontation of the two systems of mandatory or appropriate prosecution, help to better delineate the powers and duties of prosecutors.In the structure of Iranian regulations on criminal procedure, institutions such as discontinuance of prosecution, archiving of cases, mediation and suspension of prosecution are deemed as necessary institutions for recognition of the appropriateness of the prosecut1ion system that, with the approval of the Code of Criminal Procedure adopted in 2014, have emerged out of scattered and special laws and have assumed the comprehensive aspect.Moreover, in the light of Article 53 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court and the procedure governing the proceedings of this Court, it can be said that the International Criminal Court, despite the fact that it has adopted the model of compulsory prosecution as its principle or basis, has also paid attention to the principle of appropriateness of prosecution and the interests of justice and reasonable basis. Therefore, in some cases the Statute has left non-prosecution of the accused to the discretion of the prosecutor.In addition, anticipation of institutions such as deferral of investigation or prosecution, complementary jurisdiction in the provisions of the Statute and the precedent of the International Criminal Court are also considered as indicators that suggest recognition and application of a system based on appropriateness of prosecution in the rules and precedent of this Court.
