The Public Chamber of the Russian Federation activityas guarantee of citizens’ constitutional rights to NGOs

Abstrakti

In accordance with the Federal Act dated from 19.05.1995 No. 82-FZ "NonGovernmental Organisations", citizens' right of association includes the right to form voluntary organisations to protect their common interests and common goals; the right to join existing NGOs or refrain from joining an NGO, as well as the right to freely leave an NGO. Establishment of NGOs contributes to the implementation of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens; that is why the matter of guarantee of the Russian citizens' right to non-governmental organisations is highly topical today.
