The analysis of the doctrine, legislation and law enforcement practice suggests the existence of legal (formal) and moral (substantive) problems associated with it. The formal problem of freedom of conscience is associated with identification of this freedom with a much narrower freedom of religion. The analysis of approaches existing in Russian legal science regarding the concept of freedom of conscience allows us to group them in two main approaches, namely, the restrictive approach and the expanding approach. In legislation and the law enforcement practice, the restrictive approach to freedom of conscience prevails. It entails a violation of the rights and freedoms of citizens in this area. The separation of legal definitions of freedom of conscience and freedom of religion can help to solve the problem at the legislative level. In relation to the category of freedom of conscience, there is also a substantial problem based on the fact that the low level of legal culture of Russian citizens, complicating the formation of civil society, affects the perception of freedom of conscience and the permissibility of its necessary restrictions. In other words, citizens, exercising this freedom, often interpret it broadly. The solution of this problem requires an increase in the level of legal and general culture of citizens, the formation of moral principles necessary for every member of civil society, including the activities of religious associations and educational organizations.","PeriodicalId":492507,"journal":{"name":"Aktualʹnye problemy rossijskogo prava","volume":"179 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136022395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Restoration of violated rights is carried out by reviewing the relevant case. At the same time, in some cases, due to the specifics of the relevant relations, when the review of the case was impossible or could not lead to the restoration of the violated rights of the applicant, it was not possible to compensate for the negative consequences of the violation of his rights. This circumstance made it impossible to fully ensure the completeness and effectiveness of constitutional proceedings. The introduction of the institute of compensatory mechanisms was aimed at solving this problem. However, sparing legal regulation, its ambiguous interpretation and various application in practice had a negative impact not only on the effectiveness, but also on the very applicability of this legal institution. Having analyzed both the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the rulings of general jurisdiction courts, the author considers the above problems as well as the reasons for their occurrence and proposes some ways to resolve them.","PeriodicalId":492507,"journal":{"name":"Aktualʹnye problemy rossijskogo prava","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136243256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dualism of private and public principles in the legal regulation of educational relations generates a number of problems in terms of protection of these rights. The issues are poorly researched in the science, but in practice they are very relevant. The problems under discussion are considered by the author on the example of civil cases initiated by the prosecutor: actions for nullity of documents on education and qualifications; actions in defense of the interests of educational organizations (directly or indirectly); actions in defense of an indefinite number of students. It is concluded that it is necessary to endow a specialized executive authority with the right to bring an action for nullity of an educational document and that it is possible to consider the issue of nullity of educational documents in administrative proceedings.","PeriodicalId":492507,"journal":{"name":"Aktualʹnye problemy rossijskogo prava","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135997538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the study of the opinions of academia, practitioners and generalization of the results of investigative practice, judicial statistics has led to the belief that in the course of establishment of evidence in a criminal case there exists an unreasonable discretion of the investigator and the interrogating officer over the guarantees of the individual’s right to protection enshrined in criminal procedure law.

The study made it possible to establish that at present there are five main forms of implementation of moral and ethical categories in the criminal law of the Russian Federation. First, the norms of morality are embodied through the institution of the principles of criminal law. Analyzing the principle of justice, the author describes in detail the relationship under study. Secondly, certain moral prescriptions have been transformed into criminal law prohibitions and are currently legitimized in the dispositions of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Particular attention is given to the historical transformation of the moral and ethical norm into the norm of the criminal law. Thirdly, the criminal law directly protects public relations regarding public morality and morality, which is enshrined in Ch. 25 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Fourth, the assessment of the morality (immorality) of the behavior of victims of individual crimes affects the classification of crimes and the imposition of punishment. The materials of investigative and judicial practice are considered, in which law enforcement agencies assessed the immoral behavior of crime victims. Fifthly, the relationship between moral and ethical standards and the system of criminal law is found in the fact that almost all existing criminal law prohibitions were socially and historically determined by the requirements of morality and ethics. At the same time, it was established that there are both purely moral criminal law prohibitions, such as prohibitions on appropriation of someone else’s property or deprivation of life, and criminal law prohibitions based on morality, but significantly modified in the course of social development (crimes in the field of economic activity, computer crimes and others).","PeriodicalId":492507,"journal":{"name":"Aktualʹnye problemy rossijskogo prava","volume":"233 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135423957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
