The features of the constitutional rights of the children in russian federation

Abstract

The institute of human rights and freedoms of the child is one of the essential foundations of a modern Russian society, determining the further development of this sphere of public relations. As pointed out by S.A. Avakyan: "The Constitution is a symbol of the epoch, the political significance of which is caused by the fact that it creates the public relations and becomes the foundation of their development". The considered legal institution should develop based on the provisions of the applicable Constitution of the Russian Federation and in view of its inherent characteristics, reflecting its legal essence. This article is devoted to the problem of formation of the constitutional and legal status of the child in the Russian Federation. It is revealed the content of the concept of "minor" in the different fields of law. It is said about the rights of the child under the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The issues of relations between parents and children are one of the most difficult problems in the constitutional law science. If more attention was paid to compliance with the child's right in the family, it would be possible to avoid making many offenses and crimes by the minors. The violations related to children's rights shall be protected and restored by all means provided by the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the law. The studies on protection of the rights and legitimate interests of children pay not enough attention to the problems of protection of the constitutional rights of the child as an independent legal subject. The modern Russian legislation does not provide a clear definition in the field of constitutional and legal protection of the child and his/her legitimate interests.The problem of protection of the child's rights will always be relevant for Russia.
