In addition, in conformity with the Federal Constitutional Law, the Constitutional Court shall decide on the possible enforcement of decisions by interstate agencies made based on the provisions of international treaties of the Russian Federation if their interpretation contradicts the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and on possible enforcement of a judgement of a foreign or international (interstate) court, foreign or international (interstate) court of arbitration that compels the Russian Federation to fulfil a decision contradicting the principles of public law and order of the Russian Federation.

The Federal Constitutional Law determines that based on the President’s request, the Constitutional Court verifies the constitutionality of laws of a Russian region before they are published by its Governor (top official).

The Federal Constitutional Law also contains a number of provisions aimed at improving the basic arrangements for the activities of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.
