Ensuring by the Prosecutor's Office of the Legal Regime and the Proper Security Regime of Ownerless and Abandoned Objects: Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Supervisory Activities

Abstract

In the article, the authors examined the concept of ownerless property and the main criteria by which certain objects can be attributed to ownerless, and also identified the problems of legal regulation of ensuring the proper regime (level) of security of such objects. Attention is also paid to determining the role of the prosecutor's office in solving the problem of ensuring the safety of ownerless and abandoned facilities. The methodological basis of the research is represented by such universal and general scientific methods of cognition as analysis, dialectical and logical methods, methods of deduction and induction, structural and functional approach; also, special legal research methods were used in the work, namely formal legal, system-structural, statistical method, etc. The authors come to the conclusion that the problem of ensuring the safety and security of ownerless real estate is associated with various factors both objective and subjective. This is, first of all, insufficient legal regulation of the powers of local self-government bodies to register and acquire into municipal ownership real estate that does not have an owner. The work also revealed facts of unsatisfactory work and inaction of local self-government bodies, which ultimately pose a threat or lead to an emergency situation during the operation of ownerless facilities, violation of citizens' rights and ensuring their safety. The authors propose a number of security and protective measures to eliminate the identified problems. At the same time, the role of the prosecutor's office in solving these issues was noted.
