Convention on the law of treaties (1969) [3], the Vienna Convention on the

privileges and immunities of intergovernmental organizations working in
specific sectors of cooperation (1980) [5], the Vienna Convention on the law of

acts define how the General rules of behavior of subjects of international law,
the development of friendly relations between States, interaction and
cooperation of States and international organizations, ensuring international peace
and security, the participation of States in the international community and
the rules of activities of international organizations.
Russian regulatory-legal acts governing the
cooperation with international organizations are the provisions of the Constitution
of the Russian Federation [7] and the Federal law of 15.07.1995 N 101-FZ
"On international treaties of the Russian Federation" [8].
As you know, Russia cooperates with several
hundred international organizations (in the literature called more than 300)
that can be subdivided into three groups: 1) authorities and specialized
organizations (agencies) of the UN; 2) the economic, political, humanitarian
and other international organizations; 3) international clubs, communities,
unions, etc.
At the meetings of the General Assembly and the
UN Security Council,
No less important for Russia is to participate in
the work of the specialized UN organizations, and more specifically in the
activities of the UN industrial development organization (UNIDO), International
labour organization (ILO), the International monetary
Fund (IMF), United Nations educational, scientific and cultural organization
(UNESCO), UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), world health organization (who), world
trade organization (WTO), the International atomic energy organization (IAEA),
Food and agriculture (FAO), the counter-terrorism Committee (CTC) of the UN
Security Council, International criminal police organization (Interpol) and
others.
Among international organizations there are
so-called clubs, membership and conditions of entry into which is strictly not
designed, nevertheless, they can be quite prestigious.

It is generally recognized that
D. Kondratov noted that
mutual trade is the main direction of economic cooperation of the CIS States.
On the basis of policy documents of the CIS, including Strategy of economic
development of the CIS up to 2020, building momentum mutual trade is a key
direction of economic integration within the Commonwealth. This entails the
expansion of foreign trade relations between its participants, which in turn
positively affects the volume of domestic production of the countries of the
CIS, GDP growth and has beneficial effect on raising the standard of living of
the population of the participating countries of this international
organization [9, p. 59].
Russia in order to further economic cooperation
of the CIS countries actively involved in the establishment and operation of
new international organizations as the Eurasian economic community (EurAsEC existed in 2001-2014), Customs Union (1 July 2010),
common economic space (1 January 2012) free trade Zone (20 September 2012) and
the Eurasian economic Union (EAEU from 1 January 2015).

As you know, in the European space an important
place in the cooperation of European States is the Council of Europe, which
Russia joined on 28 February 1996, which was adopted Federal law dated
23.02.1996 N 19-FZ "On accession of the Russian Federation to the Statute
of the Council of Europe" [10]. While Russia has assumed certain
obligations, including to comply with the Statute of the Council of Europe
(1949), to ratify the Convention on the protection of human rights and fundamental
freedoms (1950) and its protocols [11] and other legal acts. Of course, this

All is not "rosy" in terms of
cooperation of Russia with the ECHR, as there is quite a large practice of
treatment of citizens of Russia and foreign citizens in this inter-state

the ECtHR of decisions of the Constitution and the
decisions of the constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. An example is
