Signs of the principles of organization and activity of the prosecutor’s office: content and classification

It would appear that the criteria for determining the principles governing the organization and operation of the Public Prosecutor’s Office are the criteria for distinguishing principles from other provisions of the law. To date, however, this issue has not received sufficient attention. In the science of prosecutorial activity, the features of the principles of the organization and activities of the procurator’s office have not been comprehensively examined. The article attempts to study the signs defining the principles of organization and activity of the prosecutor’s office, as well as their classification. In the course of the study the author analyzed the signs of the principles of prosecutorial activity presented in science. Scientists define them as signs having normative, fundamental, fundamental, guiding, systemic, imperative, objective, equivalent character. The author gives a description of the content of each attribute. In addition, a new attribute that defines the principles of organization and activity of the prosecutor’s office as invariability of principles is proposed. According to the results of the study, the author presents a classification of the features on three grounds: the relationship of principles to normative legal acts, the orientation of principles to the subject (prosecutor) and their relationship in the system. The article justifies importance of identification of signs that determine the principles of organization and activity of the prosecutor’s office. The study was conducted on the basis of general scientific, comparative, structural and functional methods.
