Bases of public control in the russian federation: preliminary evaluation of the new law

Abstract

The author of the present article analyzes provisions of the new Federal law of 21.07.2014 № 212-FL «About bases of public control in Russian Federation». According to the author’s opinion the pointed law deserves positive assessment but at the same time some provisions of this law need completion. In particular, it is necessary to include citizens in number of subjects of public control, to draw more clear boundary between separate forms of interaction of institutes of civil society with government bodies and local governments, to exclude «indistinct» formulations and estimated categories from the law, the use of which results in legal uncertainty and gives opportunity to the subject of legal relationships for abuse of the rights granted to it by the law. For elimination of the revealed shortcomings the existing Federal law of 21.07.2014 № 212-FL «About bases of public control in Russian Federation» needs corresponding changes.
