On the issue of the essence and problems of the functioning of the institute of evidence in administrative proceedings

Abstract

The article examines the problems of proof in administrative proceedings. The features of evidence in the administrative process are considered. Recommendations are formulated on the organizational and legal foundations in the field under study. In particular, the necessity of establishing the obligation for citizens to prove their innocence is justified, which will allow them to focus their activities on active cooperation with officials, to intensify their activities to provide the necessary information and materials that may affect the outcome of the resolution of the case. It is also noted that there is a need to strengthen control over officials who handle cases of administrative offenses, as well as increase their legal literacy. In addition, the necessity of modernizing the means of modern technology for a more detailed recording of the evidence base in the case is justified.
