Public Organization in Russia
The term has legal meaning - in article 8 of the Federal Law of May 19, 1995 No. 82-FZ “On Public Associations” it is said:
“A public organization is a membership-based public association created on the basis of joint activities to protect common interests and achieve the statutory goals of united citizens.”
Members of a public organization in accordance with its charter may be individuals and legal entities - public associations , unless otherwise provided by this Federal Law and laws on certain types of public associations.
In the presence of membership, a public organization is different from a social movement in which membership is not necessary.
The supreme governing body of a public organization is a congress (conference) or general meeting. The permanent governing body of a public organization is an elected collegial body reporting to a congress (conference) or general meeting.
In the case of state registration of a public organization, its permanent governing body exercises the rights of a legal entity on behalf of a public organization and performs its duties in accordance with the charter.
An international public organization is a non-governmental / non-governmental association whose members (on the basis of joint activities to protect common interests and achieve statutory goals) are entities from different countries and legislation registered in the state that allows foreign individuals or legal entities (without any discrimination nationality) to create public organizations and be elected to the governing body of such an organization. The choice of this form of activity - when an organization is registered in one country and operates in other countries, allows a public organization to maintain its legal personality even in the event of a possible conflict with the national authorities of a particular state. The space (territory) of the activity of INGOs is determined by the Charter of the organization. International public organizations are endowed with international legal personality to the extent that such legal personality is determined by an international treaty, for example, the right to appeal against violations of the norms of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms or, for example, the right to appeal against violations of the norms of the European Social Charter .
