Order of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine dated 03.08.2020 №353 “On the organization of prosecutors to monitor compliance with the law in the execution of court decisions in criminal cases, as well as in the application of other coercive measures related to the restriction of personal liberty”, to the main tasks of activity in this direction are supervision over observance of the legislation at execution of punishments not connected with imprisonment, and probation.

Prosecutorial supervision in our country is provided in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine “On the Prosecutor’s Office” and other regulations of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine. It is established that at present, despite some previous reforms to exclude general supervision from the competence of the prosecutor’s office, the supervisory powers of prosecutors still remain significant, although they are limited mainly to the field of criminal proceedings. The importance of the supervisory functions of the prosecutor’s office at the European level is also being restored. In particular, this trend is explained by the need for larger surveillance and interception measures by the prosecutor’s office in the international arena, as there is a threat of the rapid spread of terrorism and organized crime.

On this basis, it should be noted that it is appropriate to conduct further research on the activities of prosecutorial supervision of the specially authorized body for probation.

Key words: prosecutorial supervision, prosecutor’s office, authorized bodies on probation, convict, criminal and executive system.
