Freedom of belief and religion is one of the fundamental rights and basic principles in legal-political systems. The recognition of the right to be a religious minority and to be free to change religion One of the rights known as freedom of belief, which is one of the civil and political human rights.In this article, with a descriptive-analytical approach and with a library and documentation method, we are looking to analyze the relationship between Iran's criminal laws and the citizens' right to freedom of belief and religion. For this purpose, looking at the international documents and the constitution of Iran, approaches supporting and violating the freedom of belief have been reviewed in the criminal laws of Iran.The findings of this study show that the legislator in the constitution has an overall conception of the right to freedom of belief and religion. In criminal laws, there are also cases of violating the rights of religious minority groups and using unfair discrimination against them.In the Islamic Penal Code, there are articles to protect citizens who have a religion different from the majority and prohibition of discrimination based on belief but these guarantees are not sufficient and comprehensive and do not include all minorities and There are no rights for minorities that are not mentioned in the constitution.

One of the significant achievements of the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was the conclusion of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). With the introduction of the General Agreement on Trade in Services, which entered into force on 1 January 1995, trade in services was added to the world trade order, which had previously been applicable only to goods. This first multilateral agreement in this field sets up several general obligations and a system of so-called specific commitments. One of the specific commitments is National Treatment obligation. The National Treatment obligation which is found in Article XVII of the GATS, provides that imported services or service suppliers are to be treated no less favorably than domestically like services or service suppliers. The national treatment obligation and market access are the specific commitments and scheduled according to the bound sector and modes of supply of services. Specific commitments are recorded in the schedule of specific commitments and constitute an integral part of the GATS.
