ABSTRACT. The article is devoted to highlighting one of the current problems of our time, related to the implementation of procedural guidance during the implementation of the procedure of extradition of offenders in Ukraine.

The historical aspects of the creation and development of the prosecutor’s office in Ukraine, as an independent and independent state, and the stages of development of international cooperation in the field of extradition of criminals are considered. The regulatory and legal regulation of the exercise of powers by the prosecutor’s office in the field of international cooperation on the extradition of persons (extradition) has been studied. The main types of extradition and procedural powers of the prosecutor’s office are described. The authority of the Office of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine during extradition, prosecutor’s office bodies to exercise prosecutorial supervision over the observance of the rights of persons subject to extradition was considered.

The relevant section on international cooperation (extradition) of the criminal-procedural legislation of Ukraine was analyzed and proposals were made to improve the provisions of the criminal procedural legislation on extradition as a separate type of international assistance in criminal proceedings. Certain problematic aspects of the prosecutor’s activity related to the selection of preventive measure for persons whose extradition is requested are highlighted. It was emphasized that problematic issues related to the translation of procedural documents necessary for the implementation of the extradition process have not yet been resolved.

Keywords: Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine, extradition, extradition relations, bodies of pre-trial investigation.
