The legal status of the Commissioner for children''s rights in the Russian Federation
Problem of full observance of the rights and legitimate interests of children including protection of the child against violence and cruelty, undoubtedly, it is actual as in general for Russia, and for subjects of Federation. The special alarm is caused by growth of violence and cruelty of parents in relation to own children. The formality of a problem is connected with absence of the law on forms and methods of state regulation of one of the major institutes on protection of the rights of minor citizens - the Ombudsman for Children. In the territory of the Russian Federation its activity is regulated at the subordinate level. That as practice shows, is absolutely not pertinent when the question concerns such difficult category of citizens as children.
