The amendments will enhance procedural mechanisms for guaranteeing rights and freedoms of an individual in civil court proceedings.
The amendments give prosecutors the right to request that the courts act to protect the rights, freedoms and lawful interests of individuals and groups, the interests of the Russian Federation, its regions and municipalities.
Prosecutors can file such requests with the courts only in cases when individuals are unable to apply to the courts themselves due to health reasons, age, incapacity or other justifiable reasons.
