Averyanov, K.Y. Legal force of the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights within the Russian legal system

Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of implementation of the individual and general measures aimed to implement the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights within the Russian legal system. Much attention is paid to the general measures, by which the norm-making power of the ECHR is implemented. The author regards as general measures direct application of the legal positions of the ECHR by the Russian courts in specific cases, as well as implementation of these legal position into the system of normative legal acts of the Russian Federation. The article includes analysis of the factors preventing the fully efficient implementation of general measures under the decisions of the ECHR in Russia. Evaluation of the national legal acts, defining the status of the decisions of ECHR in Russia brings the author to a conclusion that currently there is no clear and complex legal regulation in this sphere. That is why the author offers to pass a new normative legal act, which would regulate all of the aspects of the actions of domestic state bodies in accordance with the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights.
