The smuggling of goods and foreign exchange is some kind of social problem that will cause the emergence of disorders in the fields of economic and trade appropriations and while under complicated conditions, a productive economic system can blossom, it will bring along some crises. To face this inappropriate economy needs the public luck from the internal point of view and the conformity of policy making including making laws visa vis the acceptable international laws. It is obvious that the punishment that has been considered for the crime of smuggling should be fair as such that both the rights of the accused and the society are respected because the purpose of imposing punishment is to maintain the rights of people and the prevention of the punishments’ aggression in the name of materialization of justice which is emphasized so much in the charter of human rights. One of the laws that is in contradiction with the accepted international laws and the human rights are the laws related to smuggling goods and foreign exchange in which some segments of them do not respect the rights of the accused. The pathology of the mentioned laws indicates that these laws require review and improvements.
