OVERVIEW OF THE RUSSIAN LEGISLATION REGULATING THE STATUS OF THE BODIES WHICH CONDUCT INDEPENDENT ANTI-CORRUPTION EXPERTISE OF NORMATIVE LEGAL ACTS AND THEIR DRAFTS

The Federal Law “On Combating Corruption” specified the cooperation of the state with civil institutions as one of the basic principles of combating corruption in the Russian Federation. At the same time, this principle was more specifically reflected in the legal regulation established in Article 2 of the Federal Law “On Anti-Corruption Expertise of Normative Legal Acts and Draft Normative Legal Acts”, which determines cooperation of authorities at all levels and their officials with civil institutions as one of the main principles of organization of expert activities during the anti-corruption expertise of legal acts and their drafts.

It should be noted that the call for establishing close connections between independent experts on anti-corruption expertise and public authorities in the sphere of combating corruption has repeatedly been voiced in various plans, programs and strategies for combating corruption. In particular, according to the National Anti-Corruption Strategy and the National Anti-Corruption Plan for 2010-2011, approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 460 of April 13, 2010, it was determined that an anti-corruption expertise must be conducted mandatorily, as well as with broad engagement of independent experts.

OVERVIEW OF THE RUSSIAN LEGISLATION ON ANTI-CORRUPTION EXPERTISE OF NORMATIVE LEGAL ACTS AND DRAFTS OF NORMATIVE LEGAL ACTS

The Russian legislation is a complex structural formation. It is quite difficult to ensure its quality, as well as the quality in terms of anti-corruption categories. A legal act will be effective only if it is efficiently worked from the political, economic, legal, legal and technical side. In this regard, quality as a conceptual feature of a system of legal acts is one of the main goals of the activity of both public authorities and civil institutions.
Poor-quality legal acts cause many negative phenomena in society, including corruption. Therefore, society, representatives of public authorities, persons and legal bodies are interested in easy-to-use mechanisms which provide finding out, identification and elimination of provisions of legal acts and their drafts that contain low-quality regulations contributing to corruption.

OVERVIEW OF THE LAW OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION “ON COMBATING CORRUPTION”

Russian anti-corruption legislation began to form around the early 2000s.

This Federal Law is one of the achievements of the administrative reform carried out in the Russian Federation since 2003 in order to increase efficiency of the system of state bodies and create favorable conditions for business entities to exercise their rights and interests.

The Federal law is a conceptual document in the sphere of anti-corruption activities. It stipulates the general basis for combating corruption in Russia, provides cross-cutting terminology for all anti-corruption legislation, and defines the goals, objectives and principles of combating corruption in the Russian Federation.
