    THE EVOLUTION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL REGULATION OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS IN ARMENIA

    Nora Sargsyan, Vardan Poghosyan
    View PDF
    Abstract

    Fundamental rights, as positive constitutional rights, do not have a long history in Armenia, and for the first time they found their constitutional regulation only in Soviet Armenia. However, in the Soviet state, where the individual was subordinate to the “interests of the society”, fundamental rights, regardless of how they were proclaimed in the Constitution, could not and did not have а character typical to modern legal states (I). In the modern Republic of Armenia, fundamental rights and their real role can be discussed only after independence (II), but two major constitutional changes were required to completely overcome the Soviet approaches to regulating fundamental rights(III and IV). However, the implementation of fundamental rights and their practical significance largely depends on the correct perception of fundamental rights by state bodies (primarily courts and administrative bodies) as the addressees of fundamental rights (V).

    Abstract

    The principle of legal asymmetry in the theory of law is the principle of the principle. This principle was first recorded in the Constitution of the RA in 2015. The means chosen for restriction must be commensurate to the significance of the basic right or freedom being restricted. This principle is widely used in administrative-legal relations, since it was first recorded by the legislative act in this area as an independent principle.

    The principle of asymmetry is usually not applied by administrative bodies, in turn, it contributes to unlawful restriction of human rights and freedoms. If the administrative bodies follow this constitutional principle, this will help to establish and to strengthen the rule of law.

    Hovsep Bedevyan
    View PDF
    Abstract

    The constitutional principle of the duty to exempt the subject from testimony is enshrined in administrative proceedings in the form of the right of the witness to be silent. The logic of this right suggests that the subject has the right to refuse to testify on specific issues. The subjective right related to the obligation to testify shall be applied at the discretion of the person. In law enforcement practice there may be cases where a witness with an immunity decides to testify. In this case, the court must assess the validity of the particular testimony in conjunction with other relevant and admissible evidence.

    Abstract

    By initiating legislative changes that will lead to significant changes in prices for
    socially significant goods, the government should develop measures to mitigate the
    effects of inflation. The legal regulation of price stability, assessing the level of inflation
    and predicting its dynamics are of great importance, since they make it possible to
    assess the degree of damage caused by this phenomenon and to contribute to the
    implementation of anti-inflationary measures. Inflation control in the Republic of
    Armenia is regulated by the RA Law "On the Central Bank of the Republic of
    Armenia", the RA Constitution and other legal acts. It is important that the powers of
    the State Commission for the Protection of Economic Competition be legally expanded
    in order to take more decisive measures in case of unjustified price increases in highly
    concentrated commodity markets and to provide appropriate proposals to curb
    inflation in case of problems.
