CURRENT PROBLEMS OF IMPROVING PERSONNEL POLICY IN PROSECUTOR’S OFFICES IN MARTIAL STATE CONDITIONS

Abstract

Introduction. The issue of personnel management traditionally occupies a key place at all stages of the formation and development of both public authorities and private sector business entities, since it is human potential that determines the effectiveness of the functioning of enterprises, institutions and organizations regardless of the form of ownership. The prosecutor’s office of Ukraine in this context is no exception and is objectively interested in the formation of a stable, professionally trained staff, as well as in continuously improving the level of professionalism of its employees. At the same time, the process of selecting competent and qualified personnel and their integration into the prosecutor’s office system is significantly complicated as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the introduction of the legal regime of martial law. Under such conditions, the issue of improving the personnel policy of prosecutor’s offices becomes particularly relevant. Purpose. The article is devoted to highlighting the current problems of improving personnel policy in prosecutor’s offices under martial law and identifying ways to solve them. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of current regulatory legal acts on personnel policy in prosecutorial bodies, taking into account international standards in this area, as well as current scientific research. The following scientific methods were used in the study: logical-semantic (the semantic connections between the concepts under study were established, the scope of the concept of martial law was established), synthesis and analysis (the current scientific achievements were summarized in connection with current international standards for personnel support in the prosecutor’s office), a systemic approach (the peculiarities of personnel policy in prosecutorial bodies under martial law were revealed and proposals for its improvement were systematized). An ontological approach was applied, which made it possible to take into account the essence of the prosecutor’s office’s activities from the point of view of its goals and objectives, as well as the essence and significance of the legal regime of martial law in the national legal system. Results. The directions for improving the personnel policy of the prosecutor’s office of Ukraine under martial law were identified: 1) optimize and shorten the procedures for selecting prosecutors and prosecutors; 2) review approaches to the maximum number of prosecutors; 3) improve the system of internal work with personnel and some other areas. Prospects. The prospects of implementing the above proposals for increasing the stability of the personnel system of the prosecutor’s office of Ukraine, ensuring the proper level of professional activity of prosecutors and effective performance of the tasks assigned to them during the period of martial law and post-war restoration of the state are indicated.
