Abstract:
The article presents arguments in support of the thesis that the idea of human rights not just complies with
the Christian teachings, but rather roots itself in them. The author criticizes the idea of the anti-Christian nature of
human rights. The supporters of this position consider that the «natural law in its Orthodox Christian interpretation
» does not provide for any rights, but only for the obligations towards God. Then they conclude that natural
law does not contain any inalienable rights. However, supporting his statements with the Holy Scriptures and the
works of the Church Fathers, the author proves that the Christian dispensations are not the obligations towards
God, rather, they are the conditions, which allow human beings to become closer to the image and liking of God.
At the same time, the God may not be subject of morals or law. He is omnipotent, therefore human being cannot
prescribe anything to him. The dispensations are necessary for people. Their meaning is that in their totality they
include the formula for the human dignity. And the human dignity forms the basis for human rights. At the same
time the dispensations point our the organic limitations to human freedoms. Ignorance of this aspect is responsible
for much of the immoral overbroad interpretation of human rights in the modern world.

Abstract:
It is traditional that the legal regulation of the intellectual property relations are studied within the
framework of the civil law science. However, the value of intellectual property products in the social life cannot
be diminished to their ability to be objects of turnover of goods. The intellectual activity of a person is his
natural characteristic feature, and it is necessary for the formation of personality and guarantees of individuality.
The ability of the society to use the results of intellectual work is the basis for the existence and development
of the civilization. The article includes the brief insight into the history of legal regulation of intellectual
property products. Based on the analysis of international legal acts, the author comes to a conclusion that
the evolution of the institution of basic human rights and freedoms have always been to some degree related
to the social value of intellectual activities of persons and their results, and it is not likely that this connection
shall vanish in the future.
