Judicial security is one of the important issues that implies the guarantee of citizens' judicial rights by the government. Judicial security is of great importance due to its close connection with the judicial rights of citizens and the increasing attention to these rights. In this article, an attempt has been made to examine the question of what Iranian jurisprudence and law as well as human rights documents have regarding judicial security, and what is the place of public proceedings as one of the important elements of judicial security in Iranian jurisprudence, Iranian law and human rights documents? This article is descriptive and analytical, and the mentioned question has been investigated using the library method. The results indicate that judicial security has several elements and components, such as the principle of acquittal, the principle of the right to access to a lawyer, the principle of impartiality of the judge, the principle of sufficient opportunity for defense, which has been taken into consideration in both jurisprudence and human rights documents. Publicity of proceedings is also one of the important guarantees of criminal proceedings, which is emphasized in the Constitution of Iran and the Law of Criminal Procedure of Iran and numerous human rights documents. In the principle of acceptance of judicial security and public proceedings, no difference can be seen between jurisprudence and Iranian law and human rights documents.
