On October 18, 2018, the National Library Russia (NLR) hosted the Round table “Implementation of citizens’ rights to library services” within the framework of the visiting Session of the Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights. The discussion of library issues in the human rights context, initiated by the NLR, was held for the first time. The participants of the meeting considered the activities of libraries and their founding parties - government authorities - on ensuring the legal rights of citizens to access to culture and information. The topics of discussion included the implementation of cultural policy, library legislation, normative standards of library allocation, physical and information availability of libraries and library collections, the problem of access to online electronic resources and the organization of services for special groups of readers. The article uses the materials of the annual monitoring of the National Library of Russia, the reports (presentations) of the central libraries of the subjects of the Russian Federation, placed in the open database, formed in the framework of the research work of the NLR “Actual problems of transformation of the regional library systems in the information society” (http://clrf.nlr.ru/). The author presents the opinions of specialists from the libraries of St. Petersburg, the Leningrad and Pskov regions, as well as the members of the Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights. Based on the presented views and factual data, the author concludes that libraries do not practically analyse their activities from the human rights perspective, and the state library policy does not fully contribute to the activities of public libraries to ensure the constitutional rights of citizens to use cultural institutions and to have access to cultural values and information of the Russian Federation.

The current dynamic of the institution of political rights is emphasized not only by increasing the powers to exercise constitutionally enshrined political rights and by numerically increasing of the group studied, but also by broadening their objectives, for example, maintaining trust in authority.

On the base of the analysis of sectoral legislation, was formulated proposals for its reform and directions of activities within the stated topic.

The modern society of the Russian Federation is faced with the massive incompetence of specialists in various fields of activity and branches of knowledge. The situation reached such a climax that a person and a citizen began to be openly afraid to get sick, to turn to law enforcement or human rights bodies, to delve into the essence or content of laws in the event of any kind of tort. Setting ourselves the goal of understanding such destructive processes for the state, as well as the ways of their counteraction, we came to the conclusion that these phenomena of objective reality are associated with both external and internal causes, and one of the ways to eliminate them may be recognition and the development of the right of active citizens and civil society to legal initiative. Considering that the sphere of research interests was in the plane of law, it became possible to conduct a study in the field of legal awareness and legal education, which does not exclude the possibility of using the identified positive and negative aspects for other spheres of human and citizen's life.

The scientific article briefly analyzes in a historical retrospective the issues of the formation and development of the institution of self-defense of rights and legitimate interests, starting with the Digest of Justinian and ending with today. The emphasis in the article is made on the need to study the issues of self-defense of the legitimate interests of citizens, as a little-explored side of this institution. At present, it seems important and timely to distinguish between subjective law and legitimate interest in the framework of the study of the constitutional right to self-defense. In addition, the article touches upon the problems of improving the institution of self-defense of rights and legitimate interests in the framework of out-of-court dispute resolution. The author makes a proposal to amend the article 12 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation related to the protection of both legal rights and legitimate interests.

The article analyzes various aspects of the legal nature of the institution of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, emphasizes the versatility of its human rights activities in cooperation with public institutions. The effectiveness of such interaction is justified, including by the example of cooperation with the Scientific and Educational Center for Human Rights (REC) at the O. Е. Кутаfin University (MSLA). There are difficulties in the work of the commissioners, due to the fact that the increasing digital literacy of the population makes it relatively easy to send an appeal to the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, regional commissioners, and the capabilities of these bodies are quite limited. In this regard, some proposals are formulated. The author analyzes the possibilities for the implementation of human and civil rights and freedoms by the Commissioners with the support of civil society institutions, suggests developing such interaction in different directions, and considers the criteria for the effectiveness of the institution of commissioners, including such an indicator as interaction with civil society institutions.

Cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as humiliate the dignity, are prohibited in most countries of the world, and Russia is no exception in this issue. The article presents an analysis of the institution of responsibility for torture in the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law of Russia superficially and fragmentally regulates liability for torture, in connection with which the author formulated the proposals to define such act as an independent crime. In the frame of modern globalization, the world community pays special attention to the protection of human rights, in connection with which large-scale international standards have been created a long time ago. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international acts enshrine prohibitions of cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as degrade the dignity.Considering the historical experience of the past, these standards focus on the prohibition of any kind of torture, regardless of the purpose of their implementation.
