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

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.

principles of public and municipal services. Purpose. Management
process of the organization and provision of public and municipal

series of methods which allows facility managers to provide a rapid
response to the failure of the federal law. These methods include:
problem solving in real time, to develop a common management plan
for state and municipal authorities, increasing the number of services
provided through the Multifunction centers, compliance and violation

Constitutional Legal Analysis of the Correlation and Interaction between the Terms and Concepts of «Sovereignty», «Independence» and «State Integrity»

Sovereignty, independence and state integrity are
crucial to the functioning of any state because they are directly linked
to the maintenance of state security. However, it can be acknowledged
that at the present time, despite the heightened interest in the abovementioned
categories, the science of law and the Russian legal system
lack a uniform and consistent approach to the interpretation of the terms
«sovereignty», «independence» and «state integrity». Considering the
importance of these conditions for the stable existence and sustainable
growth of the state, it is necessary to address the question what the
abovementioned categories are and how do they correlate and interact
with each other and analyze these aspects in this paper. Methods.
Basic theoretical methods and special methods were used to achieve
the goals of this research paper. The methods include but are not
limited to: analysis, synthesis, logical methods, dialectical methods,
and systematic-structural methods. The use of the abovementioned
methods was instrumental to the thorough research of the interdependent
objects in interaction and the identification of separate elements
of the researched categories, which, in turn, gave me the opportunity
to draw the proper generalizations and conclusions. Results. In the
course of the research, the author has come to the conclusion that the
terms «sovereignty», «independence» and «state integrity» differ from
each other. And yet these categories are inextricably linked and have
certain elements in common. These categories influence each other,
mutually changing each other. The loss of one category threatens the
future existence and functioning of the other categories

The Development of Law Communication Study in Russia: Problems and Prospects

The article deals with the analysis of a new interdisciplinary
research field formation in Russia – law communication
studies. Theoretical analysis. Formation of communication studies
in the space of domestic humanities began in the post-Soviet period
and was associated with the reception of the Western models of
methodological and institutional organization of knowledge about
communication. In Russia the introduction of communicative problems
in the educational process was quite fast. Communication specialty of
higher education, specialized research associations, specialized scientific
periodicals, dissertation themes were created. The main barrier
to the development of domestic communication study was making an
independent scientific discipline. It remains unresolved. Institutional
deficit determined «atomization» of research communications for a
variety of research areas, specialization subject field of communication.
The forming of law communication study was a special case of
this process. It had three stages: 1) the emergence of a new subject
area at the intersection of linguistics and jurisprudence and stable
interest in the study of law communications; 2) the establishment of
law communicative theory in the general theory of law; 3) the formation
of state information and communication paradigms with the active
participation of information law science. Results. Three disciplinary
areas that generate a substantive law communication studies field
were analyzed. This analysis showed that the sufficient conditions for
their integration into a single unit completed. Firstly, it is a common
for them tendency to interpret communication in law through its
social nature and steady feedback from non-legal sciences, which explore the modern communication processes. Secondly, it is using
of categorical apparatus and basic structural schemes of communication
study. Now development of the law communication studies as an
independent interdisciplinary research area depends on the process
of consolidation of the scientific community.
