This thesis aims to point out that the criminal protection available in international treaties and national laws for a person of unknown parentage is generally for all individuals, but without giving any advantage or privacy to a person of unknown parentage, and this represents a weakness in the criminal protection available to them and does not suit their social status, as it is necessary to enact a special law It guarantees their rights to people of unknown parentage and provides them with legal, social and criminal protection.
