Abstract:
The outcome of every trial is always accompanied by some interest where the civil attains
compensation and the criminal imprisonment and fines. In achieving the said interest in a
trial process, it is the role of the prosecutor in establishing that the accused is guilty of the
crime committed. This article articulates, that it is the role of the prosecutor to carry out justice
in the name of the State whether during the criminal or civil trial. The principle is clear here
as we all know that during criminal proceedings the prosecutor is the principal party, but such
a trial cannot succeed if in the course of the criminal act the victim also incurred damages
caused by the accused. In this regard, it is also the role of the prosecuting counsel to submit
such a civil action that has caused damages to the victim. There are lots of complexities
surrounding the understanding and interpretation of the word "interest of the state" as many
states fail in establishing this in their various legislation in which the state of Ukraine is not
an exception. Notwithstanding the importance of this concept in every trial whether civil or
criminal, what becomes of its outcome when effective recognition is not attached to it in terms
of legislative recognition? It is there in this safeguard that there was a necessity in examining
the place occupied by the submission of civil suits for the interest of the state and its
implications in matters related to damages was deemed necessary.
