The head of the Constitutional Court saw the risk to human rights in the pandemic

Valery Zorkin warned that the measures introduced by the authorities to combat the CORONAVIRUS "should be proportionate to the degree of danger" to society and not "lead to the violation of constitutional rights and freedoms." The Chairman of the Constitutional Court published an article “Under the sign of the Basic Law”, in which he explained his understanding of Art. 55 of the Constitution - it defines the possibility of restricting the rights and freedoms of citizens by federal law.

Zorkin believes that the general wording of the article is dangerous, as it can be interpreted “unreasonably broadly” and establish “excessive restrictions on human rights and freedoms to protect the values ​​of the common good,” especially given the specifics of the Russian mentality, in which state and public interests traditionally “prevail over personal." “However, life shows that this easier path is far from always the right one,” warned the head of the Constitutional Court.
