Administrative and Legal Principles of Prosecutor’s Office Interaction with Public Administration Entities on the Issues of Performing Assigned Functions

Abstract

The problem of legal regulation of interaction between the prosecutor’s office and public administration entities on the issues of performing the assigned functions has been studied. The research is based on studying such legislative acts as the Constitution of Ukraine, Laws of Ukraine “On Central Executive Agencies”, “On the Prosecutor’s Office”, “On the Status of MPs of Ukraine”, “On Temporary Investigative and Special Commissions of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine” and other legislative acts and bylaws regulating the interaction of the prosecutor’s office with state authorities.

The interaction of the prosecutor’s office with public administration entities has been defined as the procedure of appeal of the prosecutor’s office to the executive authorities, which is regulated by law norms, as well as the procedure of consideration of the appeals of MPs and representatives of the executive authorities in the prosecutor’s office.

The authors have established the following main directions of the interaction between the prosecutor’s office and the state authorities: consideration of Mps inquiries by the prosecutor’s office, participation of prosecutors in the work of investigative commissions and temporary special commissions of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, interaction of the prosecutor’s office with the Accounting Chamber of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, prosecutors’ representation of state interests in the court by presenting lawsuits within administrative, commercial or civil proceedings, interaction of the prosecutor’s office with the judicial branch of power in the process of judicial system, coordination of law enforcement activity, informing the representative authorities about the results of the activity of the prosecutor’s office and the rule of law in the state and individual territorial community.

Improvement of legal principles of cooperation between prosecutor’s office and public administration entities can take place in such areas as bringing the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On the Prosecutor’s Office” in line with the Constitution of Ukraine, development of a common form of request to all prosecutor’s office in regard to represent the interests in court, establishment of uniform terms for all authorities to consider their requests by the prosecutor’s office, establishment of a separate norm in the Law of Ukraine “On the Prosecutor’s Office” that would regulate the procedure and conditions of coordination of law enforcement activities of other authorities by the prosecutor’s office.
