The Power of Supervision
Supervision on observing the laws is carried out by the office of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation. It forms a single centralized hierarchical system in which public prosecutors obey to the higher ones and to the Prosecutor General of Russia. As mentioned before, the General Prosecutor of Russia is appointed and dismissed by the Federation Council upon a proposal of the President.
The Prosecutor's office is the state body that is established to exercise supervisory power over the strict observance and application of law by ministries, organizations, institutions, officials and citizens of the State.
The prosecutor has the right, and it is his duty, to appeal against all decisions and actions of state bodies and officials which he considers to be unlawful. Every citizen has the right to complain to the prosecutor concerning any violation of the law. When a breach of law contains the elements of a crime it is the duty of the prosecutor to bring the guilty person to trial.
The prosecutor supervises the investigation of cases conducted by the Militia, and other state security bodies. The Prosecutor's Office institutes criminal cases and investigates criminal cases, ascertains the circumstances under which crimes were committed, collects evidence against the criminals and their accomplices and sees to it that other investigating bodies act within the law.
During the hearing of cases the prosecutor maintains the prosecution before the court in the name of the State. It is his duty to prove the charges against the accused and to propose the penalty to be imposed on the guilty person. If he is of the opinion that the accused is not guilty, it is his duty to withdraw the charge.
The prosecutor has the right to lodge protests with higher judicial bodies against the sentences and decisions of courts which he finds illegal.
It may be said that the Prosecutor's Office, like all the Russian courts, protects legality, law and order.
