The legal system, which is considered one of the most important elements needed for individuals and societies to develop the culture of living together in peace and for the sustainability of the culture of common life, has a history identical to the history of humanity. In order to ensure the existence and functionality of the legal system, it is of great importance that the judicial processes are carried out in a fair and systematic framework. One of the most fundamental and essential rights that the rule of law brings to individuals and societies is the principle of presumption of innocence. The principle of presumption of innocence, in which the individual is deemed innocent unless a final conviction is given, also forms the basis of the right to a fair trial. The importance of the presumption of innocence emerges amid the ease of accusing individuals of crime and the difficult dilemma of proving innocence. The role of the presumption of innocence plays an essential role in proving the innocence of individuals and preserving their honor and reputation. At the same time, the presumption of innocence constitutes one of the most important elements of the principle of the rule of law. The right not to be tarnished, which is considered a principle that expands the presumption of innocence, aims to prevent individuals' honor and reputation from being damaged in criminal proceedings. Within the scope of the study, the conceptual framework of the presumption of innocence, the right not to be tarnished and the right to be forgotten is tried to be explained, the situation of the right not to be tarnished in Turkey is questioned, and examples of violations of these rights are examined. In the process of conducting the research, the literature review method was chosen and the study was carried out.
