Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present the rights to defense in the universal, regional and national human rights system. The article presents the institutions of the right to defense from the oldest civilisations until today. It shows the most important regulations of the universal system of human rights protection, as well as regional systems and national law, and analyses the right to defense as a procedural institution. The aim of this article is to present the evolution of the rights of defense from the point of view of human rights where it is an indispensable element of the applicable codes of criminal procedure. In this article I will try to answer whether, despite the extensive guarantee of this right, it is sufficiently implemented, and if not why and what are the ways to change this state.
