The article deals with the ways of protecting the rights and freedoms of the individual at the stage of criminal proceedings. The main means of ensuring the rule of law is the Prosecutor’s supervision in pre-trial proceedings in criminal cases, namely, the Prosecutor checks the implementation of the law by the bodies of preliminary investigation and inquiry at the stage of initiation of a criminal case. However, the lack of proper legal regulation of the procedure for prosecutorial inspections of the implementation of the law hinders the effectiveness of the Prosecutor’s activities to ensure the rights of the individual in the criminal process. The author concludes that it is necessary to make changes to improve the current legislation in order to properly and timely respond to violations of human rights and freedoms in the pre-trial stages of the criminal process by the preliminary investigation bodies.
