Annotation:
The article deals with the peculiarities of the development of the legal status of members of public oversight commissions under the current legislation. Emphasis is placed on the proposed legislative changes, reforming the organizational basis of the activities of regional public oversight commissions and their members. Some organizational problems that have arisen over the years of functioning and development of public oversight commissions and other subjects of public control are touched upon. The author’s vision of overcoming them is highlighted with an emphasis on the chosen direction of development of public human rights activities in places of deprivation of liberty. Attention is focused on the emerging need for a clearer legislative regulation of the processes of forming public oversight commissions at the regional and interregional levels. The author examines ambiguous in his opinion legislative initiatives regarding the revision of the issue of financial support for the activities of members of public oversight commissions. The idea is supported of the inconsistency with the nature of human rights activities, the formation of a vertical with a traceable hierarchy of the system, headed by the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation.
