Abstract

It has been established that the Prosecutor’s Office is a unified federal centralized system of bodies that supervise compliance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the implementation of laws, supervise the observance of human and civil rights and freedoms in accordance with their powers, and also perform other functions. The prosecutor has to go to court in order to protect the interests of citizens, society and the state protected by regulations, since the means of prosecutorial response cannot always achieve the desired result. The article analyzes the powers of the prosecutor to protect public interests in administrative proceedings, identifies the areas in which the prosecutor’s office managed to achieve visible success, and identifies problems in the implementation of powers.

Taking into account the conducted research, the need to expand the powers of the prosecutor in administrative proceedings in terms of judicial challenge of illegal actions and decisions of an individual legal nature of public authorities and their officials is justified. The work also draws conclusions and the expediency of the need to expand the list of grounds for protecting the rights of citizens and other persons by the prosecutor in court.
