Summary/Abstract: The defense in criminal proceedings is a right and not an obligation of the accused or defendant, while the state is obliged to ensure his right to defense, because a real defense is a guarantee of complete objective investigation of evidence, because only in this way a legal sentence may be issued. Thus, the initiated study consists in conducting a comprehensive analysis of the right to defense as a complex guarantee of the right of free access to justice, which includes a number of rights essential for the existence of a fair trial and effective access to justice.
