Abstract

These days, the coronavirus and the rising number of infected people and its deaths have preoccupied the public in the world. From the beginning of its spread in China, and then around the world, a lot of analysis has been published about its biological nature, and Coronavirus is a biological warfare and an example of bioterrorism. The main question is, if the hypothesis of a biological war against our country is proved, what are the legal levers to deal with it in domestic law and international documents? Leading research has been conducted with the aim of "examining the state of coping with Coronavirus bioterrorism in domestic law and international documents" using descriptive-analytical methods and data collection in a library-documentary manner. The results showed that in the Iranian legal system, there is no independent crime under the heading of bioterrorism as the main crime, but in various laws there are manifestations of the concept of bio-terrorism that due to the speed of the legislature, lack of differentiated view. Bioterrorism, the weak guarantee of the implementation of anti-Semitism mechanisms, is not as effective as it needs to be in new research and decision-making. The need to complete and improve international measures also seems necessary in terms of having a strong implementation guarantee and anticipating an effective and technical truth-testing system
