Abstract
The paper is concerned with the evolution of the concept of due process of law of resolution of criminal cases. This concept was for the first time enshrined in due form in the Great Charter of 1215; however, even before this, humankind aimed at officially approving, and then formalizing, the procedure of dispute resolution by elders, which in after years became special dicasts or appointed arbitrators. The author keeps track of the evolution of this concept and its filling with new content in the countries of Anglo-Saxon and civil law and its universal recognition after the Second World War in the form of fundamental documents of the United Nations and various regional documents. In addition, the author analyzes the meaning of this concept in a modern age, when in many cases it is necessary to choose not to comply with due process of law for reasons of economic expediency, substituting it with fast-track procedures.
