Violations of international and criminal law against citizens of the Russian Federation abroad

A state whose behavior violates the requirements of international law is responsible for its misconduct. At the same time, there are different points of view on the nature of the grounds for the responsibility of states for international offenses. So, P.M. Kuris believes that the prerequisites for the international legal responsibility of states lie in the existence of legal regulation of international relations and in the relative freedom of action of states in international relations. Legal regulation of international relations is an objective prerequisite for international responsibility. For example, some authors see the prerequisites for international responsibility of states in the international legal personality of states, proceeding from the unity of responsibility and legal personality - since the state as a subject of international law has rights and obligations, insofar as the ability to bear international responsibility. This article raises the question of the violation of international and criminal law in relation to citizens of the Russian Federation who are abroad. Individuals are often subject to illegal detention, arrest, and deportation; the procedure for keeping Russians in places of deprivation of liberty abroad is also grossly violated; persecution of Russian diplomats, public figures, human rights defenders and journalists who carry out their professional duties is taking place.
