Izhikov, M.Y. Regional systems of protection of human rights and national law: problems and interactions.

Abstract: The author analyzes two key regional systems of protection of human rights: European and Inter-American. By comparing their approaches to the issues of protection of human rights, the author singles out the problems of each of these systems, which stand in the way of more effi cient interaction of those systems with the national law. For example, in respect of the ECHR, the author mentions narrow fi nancial approach to the means of protection of human rights, the ECHR being overloaded with cases, the practice of “pilot” decisions and the tendency to violate the subsidiary principle as its problems. In respect of the inter-American Court on Human Rights the main problem is the low level of implementation of its decisions. Comparison of these regional institutions allowed the author to formulate some ideas for the improvement of the work of the ECHR. While recognizing the need to form the Russian constitutionalism as a domestic protective mechanism, the author mentions that the situation needs to be balanced by defi ning the status of the decisions of the ECHR int eh Russian legal system, introducing the procedure of their offi cial translation and publication, as well as establishing the principle of control over the implementation of the decisions against the Russian Federation. These issues may be regulated by passing a new Federal Law “On the Decisions of the European Court of Human Rights”


Keywords:

jurisprudence, human rights, international, national, interaction, European, inter-American, pilot, regional.
