Ukrainian legislation entrusts the prosecutor's office with representation of the state's interests in court, in particular in the field of child protection, which continues to actively exercise its powers in the face of the full-scale invasion of russia. The economic and property interests of the state are mainly protected in courts of economic jurisdiction.
The article deals with the study of the representative activity of juvenile prosecutors in the field of child protection in economic litigation and to the identification of its features.
The author identifies the substantive and legal features of its implementation, which are determined by the special legal regulation of such relations. A special object is also: – the rights and interests of children, which in the commercial procedure are expressed, in particular, in the right to access properly functioning educational and out-of-school institutions, health care, recreation and rehabilitation facilities for children, the existence of which is ensured by the targeted use of their material and technical base, and the safety of functioning is ensured by special requirements for the items to be purchased for these institutions, – property and economic interests of the state aimed at guaranteeing, first of all, the above-mentioned rights and interests of children, which consist in ensuring the preservation and development of the network of institutions for children; compliance with special conditions for the safe functioning of children's institutions; legal spending of budget funds for the purchase of goods, works, services, for the functioning of all institutions in this area.
The author formulates the author's own concept of law-making and law enforcement in the field of child protection in economic jurisdiction, under which the actions of state authorities, local governments and participants to economic legal relations (state and non-state institutions) will be considered lawful and socially oriented when they are committed in favor of the interests of the State in the field of child protection and the child as their component. It is proposed to introduce appropriate legislative changes to specify responsibility in the field of child protection.
