Scope

The Law “On Public Organizations and Associations” applies to all social institutions formed by citizens. The exception is religious structures. Also, the normative act does not regulate the activities of commercial structures and non-profit unions and associations formed by them.

Citizens' rights

Individuals have the legal ability to form social institutions (public associations) on a voluntary basis. The purpose of their formation is to protect collective interests and implement common tasks. The right of people to associate also presupposes the opportunity to join or abstain from existing institutions, as well as to terminate membership in them without any difficulties or obstacles. The formation of social institutions thus ensures the realization of interests and rights. The Law “On Non-Profit Public Organizations” allows for their formation without the need to obtain prior permission from government agencies or local authorities. Citizens can join such social institutions, subject to compliance with the statutes. The Law “On the Establishment of Public Organizations” does not establish a mandatory requirement for registration. Such social institutions can operate without acquiring the rights of a legal entity. At the choice of citizens, a public organization can be registered in the manner prescribed by the law in question.

Normative base

The rights of individuals to associate, their content, the status of organizations, basic guarantees of the state, the procedure for activities, formation, liquidation/reorganization are regulated not only by the law in question, but also by the Civil Code, as well as a number of other regulations. The specifics of the formation, functioning, and structural transformations of certain types of social institutions can be regulated by specially adopted legal documents. Such organizations, for example, include trade unions, charitable foundations, etc. The regulations adopted regarding them must comply with the legal document in question. These institutions can carry out their activities until the adoption of relevant laws. In this case, their functioning is regulated by the document in question.

Concept

The Law “On Public Organizations” reveals the definition of a social institution. It is a self-governing, voluntary formation formed on the initiative of citizens. The structure carries out its activities on a non-commercial basis. Citizens form a social institution in accordance with common interests and goals, which are indicated in the charter.

Subjects

The Law “On Public Organizations” establishes that citizens and legal entities can act as founders of a social institution. These entities convene a congress at which they approve the charter and form a control, audit and management apparatus. The founders of a social institution, both legal entities and citizens, perform equal responsibilities and are endowed with equal rights. Members of a public organization are public associations (legal entities) and individuals. Their interest is manifested in the collective solution of the problems of the formed institute on the basis of the provisions of its charter. It is drawn up with appropriate documents (applications) that allow the number of members to be taken into account to ensure their equality as members of the organization. These entities are also endowed with equal legal opportunities and responsibilities. Members of a social institution can be elected and choose the composition of the supervisory, audit and management structures. They also have the right to exercise control over the activities of management bodies in accordance with the charter. If they fail to fulfill their duties or fail to comply with the requirements of the charter, members of a social institution may be expelled from it.

Participants

The Law “On Public Organizations” names legal entities and citizens who express support for the goals of the established institution and specific actions carried out by it. Such entities participate in the activities of the structure without the need to necessarily formalize the conditions of their assistance, unless otherwise provided for in the charter. Like founders and members, members have equal duties and rights.

Kinds

The Law "On Public Organizations" allows the formation of:

Public organization

It is based on membership. Such a structure is formed for the implementation of joint activities. The goals of education are to ensure the protection of interests and the implementation of the tasks provided for in the charter. Legal entities and individuals can act as members, unless otherwise established by the Federal Law “On Public Organizations” under consideration. The highest governing structure of a social institution is considered to be a conference (congress) or meeting. The collegial body acts as a permanent management apparatus. He is accountable to the conference or general assembly. A social institution may undergo state registration. In this case, the permanent management apparatus exercises the rights of the legal entity on behalf of the organization and fulfills its duties in accordance with the charter.

Movement

As such, the Law “On Public Organizations of the Russian Federation” recognizes an institution consisting of participants not on the basis of membership. This structure is distinguished by its mass character. A movement may pursue political, social or other socially beneficial goals that are supported by its participants. The highest governing apparatus is a conference / congress or assembly. An elected collegial structure acts as a permanent body. It is accountable to the assembly or congress. During state registration of a movement, its governing body, acting permanently, performs duties and exercises rights on behalf of the institute on the basis of the provisions of the charter.

Territorial distribution

Currently, interregional, all-Russian, regional and local organizations are functioning. The former should be understood as an institution whose activities are carried out on the basis of statutory goals in a territory covering less than half of all subjects of the country. At the same time, they have their branches, representative offices, departments in each district. An all-Russian organization is an association that operates in more than half of the country's regions. They also have their divisions in administrative-territorial units. Regional associations are organizations operating within the same subject. There are also local social institutions. They operate within the territory controlled by the local government. For more specific regulation of these institutions, special regulatory documents may be adopted. For example, the law “On regional public organizations”.

Principles

The regulatory document in question provides that:

Restrictions

The legislation formulated a number of prohibitions regarding the creation and subsequent activities of public organizations. In particular, the formation and functioning of social institutions whose goals or ongoing activities are characterized as extremist and aimed at inciting ethnic and other hatred are not allowed. This ban was introduced on August 10, 2002. A public organization may include in its program and founding documents provisions relating to the protection of ideas about social justice. The formulation of such concepts cannot be regarded as measures contributing to the incitement of social discord. Restrictions on the formation of certain types of public associations (organizations) can be formulated and approved exclusively within the framework of federal legislation.
