Abstract

Constitutionalisation means entering the legal rule into a group of fundamental rules that the government is obliged to support and implement. In fact, Constitutionalisation is a process of change and transformation that occurs due to the influence of basic norms in different trends of law and it may be as a result of imbuing the set of legal order with these norms.  In Iran, some articles of the Criminal Procedure Law approved in 2013 are in conflict with some of the principles of Constitutional law that are related to the Procedure. Based on this, it seems necessary to analyze the existing conflicts and examine the possibility of the criminal judge for referring to the constitutional law and not implementing the legal articles that are in conflict with the constitutional principles. The Constitutionalisation of criminal Procedure gives judges the possibility to refer to the constitutional law in the face of conflicting laws. In addition, it will be possible to invalidate the proceedings and decisions by the higher judicial authorities based on the contradiction of the ordinary law with the constitutional law. One of the tools to achieve this goal is redefining the principles related to criminal Procedure. Redefinition with using Constitutionalisation tool  give the possibility to the criminal judges to reach the mentioned results after knowing those principles that govern the criminal Procedure.
