Legal problems of protection of the rights of the child in the activities of the commissioner for children's rights: analysis and ways of development in modern society

The article discusses the main problems of the activities of the Ombudsman for Children in the Russian Federation at the present stage of development of Russia. It is worth noting that the work addresses actual problems, and, to some extent, derives rhetorical questions. In addition, the main method of research is analysis from the general to the particular: from the institute of human rights to the specific rights of the child, highlighting both general tendencies and the factors that make it possible to detect differences between the considered concepts. This form of research helps to consider the institution of the rights of the child in development, observing changes in law in close conjunction with changes in the state and social system in a single country. Nevertheless, the article is not limited only to the consideration of Russian tendencies: a historical analysis is also carried out on the example of foreign experience, and specifically - parallels are drawn with Great Britain of the nineteenth century. Such a comparison helps to understand both the general trends and the individuality of the institution of the rights of the child in the territory of the Russian Federation.
