Ensuring Public and State Security in the Framework of Integration Associations in the Post-Soviet Space
The state policy of combating extremism and terrorism is an important part of ensuring public, state and national security in the CIS countries. Due to objective circumstances, the Russian legal concept and mechanism of anti-terrorism became the starting point for their national anti-terrorist legislation. The article notes the special contribution of the CIS program documents to the formation of an international anti-extremist strategy. It is emphasized that the development of economic integration processes and the formation of a single Eurasian economic space will contribute to the coordination of criminal policy in the field of counterterrorism and the formation of its unified approaches in the CIS, CSTO, and EEU States The author discusses a number of issues of legislative support of the fight against extremism and terrorism in the framework of integration associations in the post-Soviet space: contradictions between the content of the term "terrorist activity" in the anti-terrorism act and the criminal code, a mismatch reason for the introduction of the counterterrorist operation the purpose of such an operation, the obsolescence of goal-setting composition of the terrorist act in most articles of the criminal code of CIS countries. Conclusions are drawn that the process of forming anti-extremist (anti-terrorist) national legislation should be derived from international legal acts of a universal and regional nature, and that it is necessary to take as a basis not only the Russian, but also the legal achievements of other postSoviet States. It is pointed out that modern extremists are most active both on the Internet and outside the territory of Russia and other CIS countries - in Syria or in places of detention. The author notes the role of the collective legislator of the CIS, acting ahead of the curve in the prevention of extremism and terrorism. The article analyzes the current legislative process in the CIS Interparliamentary Assembly related to the development of a draft model law "on national security" and recommendations for improving and harmonizing national legislation on research of information materials with signs of extremism.
