Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article are the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code, which elevate to the rank of a fundamental principle the provision of the right to defence of citizens. It is pointed out that the right to defence in criminal proceedings should not be associated solely with the central subject of the defence - the defendant. Other participants, such as the private prosecutor, the civil claimant, etc., also assert their rights and legitimate interests in the proceedings. Thus, the difference between the right of defence and the defence function is highlighted. The right of defence of the defendant is examined in detail. The forms of defence and the hypotheses in which the participation of a defence counsel is mandatory are indicated.
