LEGAL ASPECTS OF INDICATING THE TERRITORIAL AREA IN LEGAL NAMING OF REGIONAL PUBLIC ASSOCIATIONS

Abstract

The article analyzes the regulatory requirements for indicating the territorial area in the legal naming of public associations in the Russian Federation and the practice of their application. The study is based on the analysis of regulatory legal acts that define the requirements for the name of public associations, as well as a comparison of the responses of territorial divisions of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation to requests for interpretation of these requirements. The authors explore various approaches to the interpretation of legislation on the need to include an indication of the territorial area in the name of public associations. The findings of a survey of territorial departments of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation demonstrate ambiguity in the understanding and application of the relevant legal requirements. The article examines the possible consequences of different approaches to indicating territorial affiliation for legal certainty and protection of the naming rights of public associations. In conclusion, recommendations are proposed for unifying the practice of applying regulatory requirements, aimed at eliminating legal uncertainty and ensuring the protection of the rights of public associations to their unique name in accordance with constitutional principles.
