Legal Support for National Security in the Light of Current Threats
Congress Centre, conference hall D1
In today's fast changing world, much attention is being paid to social, national and state security. Global political, economic and social turbulence on the planet is testing the strength of state institutions in many countries. One of the guarantors of national security is the legal sovereignty of the state. Can this be sustained and strengthened in the current volatile circumstances? What legal mechanisms can be used to protect the traditional spiritual and moral values of the Russian people? How can we protect the rights of our compatriots abroad, especially in unfriendly countries? Why is it so important at this precise point in time to bring the procedure of condemning Nazism to a logical and legally flawless conclusion and to put a clear and final end to the case of its legal prosecution? How can we harness learning and education to instil our youth with strong moral values, relevant knowledge and skills to succeed in today’s world whilst being ready for peace-building and defending the motherland?
