The Role of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in the Fight Against Corruption

Abstract

Corruption is inevitable in any modern society. There are various ways to combat corruption and the main one is legal. However, legal requirements are not always specific, which gives rise to various law enforcement practices and entails a violation of human rights and freedoms or infringement of the interests of the state. In an ideal society, all laws are clear and respected by all parties to the relationship. This provides a rule of law. But the rule of law cannot function effectively if the content of legal norms is unclear or controversial. In the Russian Federation, the special body of constitutional review is the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, whose decisions are binding on all subjects of law and cannot be appealed. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation checks the compliance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation of the norms of anti-corruption laws, eliminates the uncertainty of legal norms and ensures the rule of law in the Russian Federation.
