Equality of Floors in the Sphere of Family Relationships

Introduction. The article is devoted to the complex analysis of the constitutional legal regulation of the equality of rights and duties of men and women in the sphere of family legal relations. Discussion. The author analyzed the constitutions of the Soviet period with the aim of establishing the existence of a guarantee for the protection of the rights and interests of fathers (men) subject to gender discrimination. The author notes that certain advantages provided by the state, aimed at equalizing the legal status of men and women, apply only to women. It does not take into account the interests and rights of men who, as a result of providing women with appropriate benefits, may be violated, which can lead to discrimination against men on the basis of gender. Conclusion. As a result of the analysis of the constitutions of the Soviet period, the author comes to the conclusion that despite the fact that the Basic Laws of the Soviet period enshrined the principle of gender equality, they did not contain a guarantee of protection of the institution of paternity (with the exception of the 1978 RSFSR Constitution). The Constitution of the Russian Federation demonstrates a new approach to the family, highlighting both motherhood and paternity. The author notes that at present men are not provided with an actual guarantee for the state protection of the interests of paternity. Paternity is not included in the sphere of state policy, which leads to gender asymmetry in the status of mother and father in society. This is confirmed by the absence of an appropriate law aimed at regulating the relations of motherhood, paternity and childhood; not by establishing a guarantee of protection of the institution of paternity at the constitutional level.

ВОПРОСЫ СОЦИАЛЬНОГО ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЯ МУЖЧИН В СФЕРЕ СЕМЕЙНЫХ ОТНОШЕНИЙ В РЕШЕНИЯХ КОНСТИТУЦИОННОГО СУДА РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ И ЕВРОПЕЙСКОГО СУДА ПО ПРАВАМ ЧЕЛОВЕКА

Введение. Статья посвящена исследованию практики Консти- туционного суда Российской Федерации и Европейского суда по правам человека по вопросу реализации мужчинами их социаль- ных прав наравне с женщинами. Обсуждение. Автор в резуль- тате исследования практики Конституционного суда Российской Федерации и Европейского суда по правам человека делает ак- цент на позиции относительно допустимости и недопустимости дифференциации, приводящей к различиям в социальных правах мужчин и женщин. Заключение. В результате анализа право- применительной практики автор приходит к выводу, что интересы детей должны ставиться во главу решения вопросов предостав- ления социальных льгот и гарантий мужчинам и женщинам. Необ- ходимы выявление и последующее устранение позитивной дис- криминации, если последняя не обусловлена объективными целями. Мужчинам в России не всегда предоставляется защита в реализации своих социальных прав со стороны конституционного правосудия, даже если это касается интересов детей.

International Standards of Gender Equality

The article is devoted to the research of the international
standards of gender equality fixed in is international-legal
acts. Discussion. As a result of the research of international-legal
documents, the author, places emphasis on the biggest group of
international-legal standards which the rights and freedoms of a
person and citizen belong to. The special attention is paid to the
reasons according to which the activity of the international organizations
was more directed on protection of the rights of women subject
to discrimination. The author draws a conclusion that women subject
to earlier gender discrimination, in general, reached the same level,
as men, during the realization of their rights. However, as much more
attention is paid to women, both at international and national levels,
there are spheres in which men are discriminated. Conclusion. As
a result of the analysis of activity of the international organizations
and also international – the legal documents fixing the international
standards of gender equality, the author comes to the conclusion
that at the heart of the considered international documents in the
field of human rights there are such important principles as gender
equality and inadmissibility of discrimination on the basis of gender.
However, implementation of provisions of the international documents
containing the international standards of ensuring gender equality
is carried out not to the full extent, that is caused by the lack of effective
national mechanisms of protection against discrimination on
the basis of gender.
