Abstract

This paper deals with some issues concerning assessment of enforcement efficiency of the Act on minors' rights
protection in the Russian Federation. It investigates the dynamics of the Russian legislation on children's rights
protection, and gives analysis of the public authorities' performance in implementing the Act on children's rights
(the case of the Republic of Buryatia). In particular, the authors give characteristics of the public bodies engaged
in protecting the rights of children in difficult life situations, including children without parental support and those
who committed crimes and antisocial actions. The paper demonstrates the practices of Ombudsman for Children
in the Republic of Buryatia. It reveals the main probable causes of low efficiency in protection of minors' rights,
i.e. insufficient systematicity of the legislation, ineffective interdepartmental interaction, poor quality of the staff
employed with the public bodies and establishments for the minors' rights protection, and lack of preventive
measures in the work of corresponding public bodies. Another focus of the research has been on the Russian
Federal Act on mediative forms of social conflict settlement within the children's rights protection mechanism.
Prospects for practical use of the mediative technologies have been revealed. The paper shows a demand for
further discussions of the existing legislation towards feasibility of specialized mediation that will ensure higher
efficiency in the protection of children's rights.
