Legal problems of Development and Implementation of Mechanisms for the Protection of Constitutional Rights of Citizens in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the study of certain legal problems related to the development and implementation of mechanisms for the protection of constitutional rights of citizens in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to prevent its spread on the territory of the Russian Federation and prevent the consequences. The COVID-19 pandemic has made serious adjustments to the proper organization of the state and society. The author notes that constitutional legal relations in such a difficult period are forced to undergo a test of strength, and through the prism of protecting some constitutional rights at the expense of self-restraint of others. The paper investigates problems of implementing the mechanisms of «dormant legislation». Attention is drawn to the application of a decentralized approach to the tools of the legal system of a federal state. The emphasis is placed on the fact that at the federal level, high-alert and emergency regimes have not been introduced. The paper emphasizes ambiguity of judgments and legal views regarding the legality of the introduction of a high-alert regime in the conditions of modern reality and legal reality.
