What do rights mean in today's Russia?
December 10 is Russia's Human Rights Day. Can Russia prevent massive human rights abuses? Who is responsible for these kind of errors? State power is concentrated in one hand -- the Russian President -- and security forces under the President are known abusers of human rights
When state organs are the ones abusing human rights, the only way out is to give the people power to resist illegal acts by officials. Officials should serve as the people's lawyers, assisting them in exercising their constitutional guarantees and prosecuting public officials who violate these rights. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
