Civil rights is a category of human rights that include individual
personal freedom, privacy, personal security, a right to life,
dignity, freedom from torture, freedom of movement and residence,
and freedom of conscience. Such rights differ from the political,
economic, social, and cultural rights guaranteed by the
International Bill of Rights. The challenge of enforcing these
rights has been acute throughout the world, but Russia in
particular has experienced unique and significant
difficulties.Until now, the theoretical literature dealing with the
legal characteristics of civil rights, how to realize them, and how
to protect people from their infringement, has been wanting. This
timely and comprehensive volume rectifies this lapse, especially as
civil rights enforcement relates to Russia. It draws on a wealth of
materials, including reports and statistical data from the United
Nations, the Council of Europe, the Ombudsman of the Russian
Federation, and several Russian offices of state.The contributors,
comprised of researchers, judges, lawyers, and legal authorities,
are all experts in human and civil rights and bring a fresh
perspective to these issues. They analyze international law,
Russian legislation, and decisions of the European Court and the
Constitutional Court of Russia each from a humanistic stance. While
the authors represent different age groups, occupations, and
approaches, they are in agreement on the necessity of protecting
civil rights; expanding and developing their guaranty both in
Russia and all over the world.Civil Human Rights in Russia dispels
many of the myths about Russia and its attitude toward civil
rights, especially as regards to the stereotype that the Russian
people do not know about such rights, nor care about human dignity.
The authors of this volume make clear that Russia has been
instrumental in the formation and recognition of universal human
rights. The Russian contribution builds on those established by the
Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S.
Constitution's Bill of Rights, and the French Declaration of the
Rights of Man and of the Citizen. This volume is a fundamental
contribution to the literature, one that will help the reader to
understand the essence of civil human rights and how they may be
implemented and enforced in the twenty-first century.
