Materials and Methods: This research is of theoretical type and the research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection is library and has been done by referring to documents, books and articles. Findings: The concept of religious minorities in the international law system and the domestic law systems of countries does not have a single definition; This issue is the main source of existing differences of opinion. Ethical Considerations: In order to organize this research, while observing the authenticity of the texts, honesty and fidelity have been observed. Conclusion: In Iran, with the recognition of the Shia religion in Article 12 of the Constitution, the rights of religious minorities should be recognized in the Constitution and these religions should be respected.
