Even in the ancient world, when there was no division of peoples into nations on the modern territory of Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Iran, one of the oldest right-wing systems operated - the Zoroastrian system. After the Arabs conquered the modern territory of the Persian-speaking countries, a Muslim legal system was established on their territory. The issues of international cooperation in the national criminal procedure legislation and international treaties are investigated. Various types of cooperation of the Persian-speaking countries in the field of the criminal process, including in the framework of international organizations, are given. It is noted that in Tajikistan there is a typical continental criminal process, and in Afghanistan and Iran, as Islamic republics, there is a Muslim criminal process, which is based on Sharia norms. The content, types and hierarchy of normative legal acts of criminal procedure law, normative legal acts of international cooperation in criminal matters in Persian-speaking countries are characterized by considerable diversity, which in some cases does not provide an opportunity for effective cooperation.
