On the issue of meeting the term for the submission of provisionally applied treaties to the State Duma of the Russian Federation Federal Assembly
Abstract
The article deals with the problem of exceeding the six-month term for the submission of the provisionally applied treaties to the State Duma. This term is specified in article 23, paragraph 2 of the Federal Act “On international treaties of the Russian Federation”. The article contains the results of the study of more than 140 provisionally applied treaties, which were authenticated by the Russian Federation from 2010 to 2014 inclusive, as well as the terms of their submission to the State Duma. The study revealed numerous failures to meet the term for the submission of the provisionally applied treaties, resulting, according to the authors, in the violation of the principle of separation of powers. The possible way out of this situation is improving the mechanism of cooperation between the State Duma and the executive authorities of the Russian Federation on the issue of the provisional application of international treaties as well as the State Duma’s more active involvement in addressing this issue. In the end of the article the authors suggest amendments to the Federal Act “On international treaties of the Russian Federation” and to the Constitution of Russia which can help solve the problem under consideration.
