SUBJECTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS IN CONFLICT AND NON-CONFLICT ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS

Abstract

The article analyzes the range of participants in administrative proceedings, depending on which of the two groups of proceedings they belong to: conflict or non-conflict. It is noted that for the terminological designation of participants in non-conflict proceedings, special attention should be paid to the procedural position they perform in administrative proceedings. The article defines two groups of participants in non-conflict proceedings, the first of which consists of state executive bodies and local governments and their officials who consider and resolve administrative cases. The second group of participants in non-conflict proceedings consists of individuals and legal entities, as well as, under certain conditions, associations of citizens without the status of a legal entity, who protect personal rights and legitimate interests in the administrative process. The laws establishing the procedure for conducting administrative proceedings do not contain standard procedural terms for designating individuals and legal entities as participants in administrative proceedings in Ukraine. It is proposed to analyze the subjects of conflict proceedings depending on the type of proceedings in which they participate, that is, focusing on such types of administrative proceedings as: administrative-tort proceedings, disciplinary proceedings, proceedings on complaints of citizens, administrative proceedings by way of administrative proceedings. The authors concluded that system of subjects of conflict and non-conflict proceedings is complex and branched, what affects the flexibility of the mechanism of protection of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens as a whole today. It is considered to reform the system of conflict proceedings and to minimize of authorized bodies with broad competence. Also, the need for a unified approach to the terminological definition of participants in non-conflict proceedings is a significant problem in law enforcement that needs to be addressed urgently.
