The system of principles of disciplinary proceedings in cases of corruption offenses in the public service

   Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of theoretical and practical issues of building and functioning of the system of principles of disciplinary proceedings in cases of corruption offenses.

   Materials and Methods. The study is based on the analysis of positions existing in science regarding the definition of the term “principle of law” and the classification of the principles of service-disciplinary proceedings, as well as the features of the normative consolidation of the principles of disciplinary proceedings in cases of corruption offenses.

   Analysis. The principles are of key importance in the organization of disciplinary proceedings in cases of corruption offenses. However, their regulation is not given enough attention in the legislation.

   Results. The set of principles of the considered administrative proceedings is specified. It is proved that this set has a systemic character. The specifics of the implementation of private principles are considered, namely the principle of the inevitability of responsibility for committing a disciplinary corruption offense and the principle of the need to establish the guilt of a civil servant. An analysis of the content of the provisions of normative acts led to the conclusion that the principle of the inevitability of responsibility is currently mostly declarative. In this regard, the author states the need to amend the legislative acts regulating the procedure for production, by establishing the mandatory application of penalties. A distinction is made between the principle of the need to establish the guilt of a civil servant and the constitutionally enshrined principle of the presumption of innocence. The necessity of introducing legislative changes aimed at fixing the need for mandatory consideration of the guilt of a civil servant when considering a case on a disciplinary corruption offense is substantiated.
