Abstract

Enforcing fundamental human rights is a constitutional obligation of the Russian Federation. In the digital age, the risks of human rights violations are increasing, making it increasingly relevant to implement a consistent state policy related specifically to data processing in public administration. The objective of this paper is to analyze the scientific and methodological approaches to enforcing fundamental human rights in data processing in public administration and the possibilities for consideration of human rights in the Russian public administration. The subject of the study includes scientific publications, court cases, international and national laws and regulations, including foreign countries. The study uses formal legal and historical legal methods, comparative legal method, method of legal interpretation, logical analysis, general scientific methods of classification and modeling. The results of the study are an analytical review of foreign and Russian scientific and methodological approaches to enforcing fundamental human rights in data processing in digital public administration; systematization of the basic legal grounds for enforcing fundamental human rights in data processing in public administration; the proposals for legal enforcement of fundamental human rights in data processing in the Russian public administration. The study allows drawing conclusions about the lack of attention in the Russian doctrine and practice to the issue of fundamental rights. Since Russian legislation in this area is based on the European model, the implementation of European approaches to data protection is recommended. It is necessary to create special legislation on data processing in public administration, to define the criteria for proper data processing and data storage, to differentiate the types of data collection and data processing, to ensure transparency. Based on advanced digital technologies, data processing rules in the public sector should be stricter and more transparent than in the private sector. The scientific novelty of the research is determined by insufficient regulation of data processing in public administration, where the constitutional function of enforcement and protection of fundamental human rights is not sufficiently regulated. Based on the results of the study, recommendations are to use the findings in the formation of an appropriate state policy to enforce fundamental human rights in data processing in the Russian public administration

Abstract

The object of this working paper is the policy and priorities of the digital economy leaders (the G20 members) in regulating digital platforms. The goal of the study is to assess the impact of these countries’ policies in the field of digital platforms regulation and to develop recommendations regarding Russia’s policy on digital platforms and its participation in developing new global regulatory approaches. In order to achieve this goal, the working paper addresses the following objectives: to clarify the criteria and select the leading countries from among the G20 members on the basis of expert assessments and data from international ratings; to carry out the analysis of policies and priorities of the selected digital leaders (UK, USA, Canada, EU, Japan, Korea, India, China) as well as Russia in regulating digital platforms; to develop recommendations regarding Russia’s policy on digital platforms regulation at the national level, as well as promoting its approach within the G20 and other multilateral institutions. The study is highly relevant since the leading developed countries increase their regulatory potential, including through the consistent inclusion of their standards and cooperation norms they have developed in the documents adopted by multilateral organizations, and thus create a global market for their goods and services, and additional opportunities for their companies. The study shows that a strong potential exists for a positive effect in terms of a coordinated approach to regulating digital platforms’ activities at the international level. In this context, it is important for Russia to integrate the issues of digital platforms regulation into the BRICS and G20 digital economy agendas.

Abstract

Ensuring fundamental human rights is a constitutional duty of the Russian state. In digital age the risks of human rights violations are increasing, which is gained newfound relevance of the need to implement a consistent state policy, especially with data processing in providing public services in a new proactive mode. The objective of this paper is to analyze legal regulation and develop a legal framework of data processing in the interests of providing proactive public services. The subject of the study is scientific publications, international and national laws and regulations, including foreign countries. The study is used formal legal and historical legal methods, method of legal interpretation as well as comparative legal method and statistical methods. The results of the study are the author's concept and typology of proactive public services, an assessment of the regulatory competence of bodies providing proactive public services, proposals for the application of the theory of informational self-determination in the context of providing proactive public services, proposals for the differentiation of legal regimes of personal data and big data processing for providing proactive public services, and what is more, legal analysis findings of data security used in proactive public service delivery. The main result of the study is a legal framework of data processing that responds to both the active intentions of a body providing a service and the subjective rights of an applicant who is a data owner. The study allows for the conclusion about the insufficient enshrinement in national legislation of the proactive public service delivery mode implemented in practice, which, meanwhile, has significant differences from the reactive mode previously implemented into the legislation. Particularly important differences relate to personal data processing and the enshrinement of general requirements for proactive public services. It is necessary to promptly develop the regulatory framework based on principles address both the rights to personal citizen data and the possibility of the state to obtain it in order to establish a regular state function to provide public services in a new format. The scientific novelty of the research is determined by the lack of regulation of the public service delivery process in the proactive mode as well as the lack of empirical research of conceptual framework of the process. Based on the results of the study recommendations are to use the findings in the formation of an appropriate regulatory framework and state policy in digital public administration and data processing in the provision of proactive public services.
