Abstract

Magistrsko delo obravnava položaj zagovornika v kazenskem postopku, ki se odraža v okviru pravice do obrambe kot enemu izmed bistvenih elementov pravice do poštenega sojenja, pri čemer je v teoriji in praksi problematičen trenutek, na katerega se ta pravica veže. Kazenski postopek predstavlja za posameznika položaj, v katerem se brez strokovne pomoči ne bi znašel in znal uveljavljati zase vsega, kar mu pravo kot celota pravnih pravil in načel zagotavlja. Pravica do obrambe zato predstavlja ključen vzvod obdolženca, ki je kot prava nevešča stranka znotraj kazenskega postopka postavljen v šibkejši in podrejen položaj v primerjavi z nasproti stoječim državnim aparatom. Namen, ki se mu sledi znotraj kazenskega postopka, je v korelaciji z namenom, ki se dosega s pravico do zagovornika, to pa je v zagotavljanju poštenega postopka kot celote. Namen celotnega kazenskega postopka je v zagotavljanju, sledenju in spoštovanju načela pravičnosti, preko katerega se izraža pravica do poštenega sojenja. Kljub temu da načelo, priznano s strani pravne teorije in prakse, uživa pomen krovnega načela kazenskega postopka, je v teoriji še vedno nekaj kritik, ki dvomijo v njegovo funkcijo. Uresničevanje pravice do zagovornika je za zagotavljanje smiselne in poštene obrambe v kazenskem postopku potrebno vezati na trenutek, ko je posameznik v najranljivejšem položaju. Tak položaj izhaja že iz predkazenskega postopka, pri čemer je prisotnost zagovornika pomembna od trenutka, ko se preiskovanje osredotoči na posameznika kot morebitnega osumljenca v kazenskem postopku. Problematika takšnega pojmovanja, kjer tudi v praksi velikokrat prihaja do kršitev, izhaja predvsem iz nesistematične zakonodajne ureditve, ki bi zaradi ustrezne pravne varnosti posameznikov morala biti podvržena reformi, s čimer bi predkazenski postopek bil priznan kot bistveni del kazenskega postopka, od katerega je odvisen potek nadaljnjega postopanja.

Secondary title: The position of defence counsel in criminal proceedings, with a purpose to ensure the right to a fair trail
Secondary abstract: The master's thesis deals with the position of the defence counsel in criminal proceedings, which is reflected in the right to defence as one of the essential elements of the right to a fair trial, and the moment to which this right is linked is problematic in theory and practice. Criminal proceedings present a situation in which the individual would not be able to assert for himself all that the law, as a body of legal rules and principles, guarantees him without the assistance of a professional. The right of a defence is therefore a key lever for the accused, who, as an uninformed party, is placed in a weaker and inferior position in criminal proceedings compared with the opposing state apparatus. The purpose pursued withing the criminal proceedings is correlated with the purpose pursued by the right to counsel, which is to ensure fair proceedings. The purpose of the criminal procedure is to ensure, follow and respect the principle of fairness through which the right to a fair trial is expressed. Although the principle, recognised by legal theory and practice, enjoys the status of an overarching principle of criminal procedure, there are still some critics in theory who question its function. To ensure a meaningful and fair defence in criminal proceedings, the exercise of the right to counsel must be linked to the moment when the individual is at his or her most vulnerable. This situation arises from the pre-trial stage, where the presence of a defence counsel is important from the moment the investigation focuses on the individual as a potential suspect in the criminal proceedings. The problem with this concept, which is often violated in practice, stems primarily from the unsystematic legislative framework, which, in the interests of adequate legal certainty for individuals, should be reformed to recognize the pre-trial procedure as an essential part of the criminal procedure, on which the course of the subsequent proceedings depends.
