Abstract

After Ukraine gained independence, political, economic, social, organizational, legal and other changes began to take place in the Ukrainian state, which affected all spheres of socially useful life. The activity of the prosecutor’s office, which inherited the basic principles of its activity from the prosecutor’s office of the former Soviet Union, could not avoid such changes. Adoption in 1990 of the Declaration on the State Sovereignty of Ukraine and introduction of the Law of October 24, 1990 No. 404-XII of amendments and additions to Chapter 19 «Prosecutorship» of the Constitution (Basic Law) of the Ukrainian SSR, the formation of a new independent prosecutor’s office of the Ukrainian state was initiated, in Art. 162 of which it was declared that higher supervision over the observance and correct application of laws by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, ministries, state committees, departments, other bodies of state and economic management and control, the Government of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, local Councils of People’s Deputies, their executive and administrative bodies, military units, political parties, public organizations, mass movements, enterprises, institutions and organizations, regardless of the forms of ownership, subordination and affiliation, officials and citizens is carried out by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine and prosecutors subordinate to him. At the same time, the activities of the prosecutor’s office and their officials did not always receive a favorable assessment of their activity from the citizens, which prompted the state leadership through the reorganization of the prosecutor’s office to make permanent changes that would bring the activity of the prosecutor’s office closer to the best international standards in consistently ensuring the rights and freedoms of man and citizen. interests of society and the state. Attention is drawn to the fact that after 2014, as well as the full-scale invasion of Russian military aggression against Ukraine, the functions of the prosecutor’s office underwent significant changes, which requires theoretical research, due to the fact that the reform of the activities of the prosecutor’s office continues even in today’s conditions.
