In the twentieth century, characterized by numerous paradoxes, the idea of human rights has taken root firmly through international charters, agreements, conventions and other documents. But, in the same time, massive violations of basic human rights have taken place, among them right to life, freedom, security and right to righteous trial, as elementary indicators for the development of democracy in a certain society. The development of the idea of proclaiming and protection of human rights as a historical process has, at the international level, the consequence of building a s–stem of universal rules, which gained the character of international standards of human rights. International standards of human rights are numerous, contained in various instruments and are developed permanently. The very goal of the author’s elaboration in the present work is to delineate the historical path and content of the right to challenge legality of custody, involved in the most important international documents accepted after the World War Two.
