The article investigates the problems of implementation in Ukraine of European
standards forproviding free legal aid in criminal proceedings. The author highlights the major international principles of providing free legal aid. Special attention is paid to the process of attracting defense counsel to provide free legal assistance to detainees.The legal basis of the lawyer in criminal proceedings is enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine in basic principles of justice in Ukraine. The right to free legal aid was enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine and some special laws, but it was impo&ssible to implement it in full volume because of the lack of consistent policy on the provision of legal aid for public funds. The Law of Ukraine about free legal aid created a legal framework and mechanism for implementation of the right to legal as&sistance in cases where it should be provided free of charge. European approach to the issue of legal aid remains unchanged and is inseparable real right to legal counsel of his right to effective access to justice. Keep in mind that free legal aid s&hould be seen not as an act of charity on unsecured, as well as the obligations imposed on society as a whole. In addition, each person has the right to have the necessary legal aid in the proceedings, being free to choose qualified counsel.
However&, responsibility for the funding of legal aid should be imposed on the state.
