The problems of the refusal of the public prosecutor to maintain public prosecution

The article is devoted to the analysis of the legal status of the public prosecutor in the context of his right to refuse to support the prosecution in the judicial process. The issues concerning the nature of this prosecutor's authority are investigated, and various approaches to understanding the rejection of charges are discussed.: as duties or rights. Insufficient regulation of the institution of refusal of prosecution, including the process of registration of reasons for refusal, is emphasized, which causes practical difficulties. It is proposed to introduce a mandatory form of a procedural act to record the rejection of the charge.
