Representation of the interests of the victim in criminal proceedings
In criminal proceedings, lawyers are a mandatory party. Its purpose is not only to protect the legitimate interests of the suspect, but also to represent the victim and provide legal assistance to witnesses. This is, in particular, one of the areas of activity of the lawyers of our Prykhodko and Partners law office. We will monitor compliance with all legitimate interests of the victims. In addition, our lawyers will take control of the entire process of investigation and prosecution of the culprit.
Legislative framework of the issue
The Constitution of Ukraine regulates the following: every citizen has the legal right to receive professional legal assistance. This means, in particular, that everyone can freely choose a defender of their rights.
In the 21st century, protection of the rights and interests of victims is an important component of the legal system. Thus, the lawyer plays a very important role in ensuring the legally defined law and order and justice.
In criminal proceedings, the victim’s representative has all the rights that the victim himself has. So,
the main task of a lawyer is to implement all legal rights of the victim.
On behalf of the victim, the lawyer can:
- Submit complaints/requests to the prosecutor.
- To take an active part in court sessions.
- Submit evidence on behalf of the victim.
We offer to consider in more detail the identity of the victim in criminal proceedings. Let’s start with what
a victim in a criminal case – a person who, as a result of a criminal offense, received one or another damage – physical, moral or property (part one of Article 55 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine).
By the way, the victim can be both an individual and a legal entity (in this case, property damage may be caused to the person).
Both the rights and obligations of the victim arise from the moment a statement is filed about the commission of a criminal offense against her. It can also be a statement about the need to involve a person in criminal proceedings as a victim.
The victim participates in the court session as a party to the prosecution. He has the same rights as other participants in criminal proceedings.
