The Role and Importance of the Prosecutor's Office in Protecting the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

This scientific work reveals the importance of the activities of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation in the protection of a socially unprotected group of persons such as the disabled. To date, an extensive domestic and international regulatory framework has been developed that regulates the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities. However, relevant offenses continue to be identified. In view of this, the employees of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation are taking a number of effective measures to restore these rights, including going to court with a statement in defense of the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of an indefinite number of persons. Relying on its activities on the principle of publicity, the Prosecutor’s Office is taking the first significant steps in protecting the rights of persons with disabilities.
