One of the most important legal systems of societies, is its penal system that accommodate the penal law in itself. Every society had forecasted some law and distinctions for its individuals, and had obliged all to observe these laws. The right of life is among these laws laws and distinctions that of course can be oggressed by some people. In such cases, society mast react and punish the aggressor even if this punishment be in the form of his life taking away. So, punishment is one of the factors in preserving the individuals right and decipline. Death punishment is one of the punishments that is considered in some main penalties and is in hyead of all punishments. Despite of international and worldwide insight that believe in cancellation of death punishment, but in most areas of the world, such as our country this kind of punishment execute after and before Islamic Revolution. But in after Revolutions’ rules it found high inphasis. Also in new Islamic penal law, this this punishment is observable.

Capital punishment or death penalty is a social enforcement guarantee which have existed in all societies and civilizations since past, and have taken many victims. Although today, this punishment has revoked in many countries completely and many international documents and treaties consider it as a violation of human rights, but still, there are some countries and governments that have maintained this punishment in their laws and against some political, social or religious crimes are applied. Despite many altercations and discussions that about the abolition or retention of the capital punishment has been started about two hundred years ago and each of the opponents or fans have expressed reasons and arguments about approval or rejection, yet, certainly we cannot believe that the capital punishment is an unhelpful and effective legal. But a useful practical solution is that to maintain the right of live of individuals and observe their inherent value, which has been highly regarded in recently years, at least in some crimes, opponents views should be preferred the disciple views and as much as possible, cases for applying it in laws should be reduced and its enforcement should be limited to some very serious and harmful crimes, especially with regard to that in contemporary world, the purpose of punishment is not punishing or penalizing, but also its purpose is correction and nurturance of offenders and restore him/her to normal life.
