Perfecting the Guarantees of Citizens' Rights under Administrative Procedure

Abstract

Socialist society witnesses a steady improvement in the work of the machinery of government, guarantees rigorous and undeviating adherence by officials to their duties, and has created a many-sided system of guarantees of citizens' rights and interests. All the work to build communism in our country is permeated with concern for strengthening legality and law and order. The Report of the CPSU Central Committee to the Twenty-fifth Congress noted the need for further improving administrative law, with consideration for new phenomena in public life. In this connection, improvement of all the activity of agencies of government, including that of carrying out the demands of the Soviet legislation on protecting the rights and legitimate interests of citizens, becomes a pressing issue. We know that it is in the area of the functioning of administrative agencies that people most often encounter compulsory regulations involving an obligation on the part of the citizen to carry out a demand, based on law and addressed to him by a government agency or officer of government, as well as the obligation of the latter agency or officer to guarantee implementation of the subjective rights and legal interests of the individual.
