Public control over international non-governmental organizations: current state and development prospects

The article is devoted to the analysis of the current state and prospects for the development of public control in relation to international non-governmental organizations. The necessity of organizing and exercising public control over international non-governmental organizations, their branches and representative offices in individual states is substantiated. Public control over international non-governmental organizations is hindered by a number of problems: the lack of consolidation and detailing of the institution of public control in the UN Charter; the lack of elaboration in the scientific legal doctrine of issues related to the organization and implementation of public control over international non-governmental organizations; controversial nature regarding the grounds and limits of the above-mentioned public control; absence in national legislation (for example Russia) consolidation of the legal foundations of the organization and implementation of public control over both international non-governmental organizations themselves and their branches and representative offices in Russia; weak powers of subjects of public control; underdevelopment of international associations and unions of public control.  This article uses a number of scientific research methods, in particular: formal-logical; historical-legal; comparative-legal; statistical; sociological. The solution to these problems will require: consolidation in international legislation of the institute of public control (control of civil society); conducting, with the support of the United Nations, as well as structures controlled by it, scientific and practical research on the organization and implementation of public control in relation to international non-governmental organizations, their branches and representative offices; consolidation in Russian legislation as objects of public control over the activities, acts and decisions of international non-governmental organizations, their branches and representative offices operating in Russia; granting real powers to subjects of public control over the above-mentioned facilities (up to the possibility of temporary suspension of the activities of these organizations); adoption of federal programs dedicated to the development of international associations and unions of public control and the participation of Public Chambers of Russia.
