By Karen Glikman | Volume 9 | Issue 1

This Note examines Russia’s Foreign Agent Law and its impact on civil society and non-governmental organizations operating within the country. It argues that the law functions as a mechanism to restrict the activities of NGOs by imposing extensive reporting requirements and stigmatizing organizations that receive foreign funding. Through an analysis of international human rights frameworks, this Note demonstrates how the law conflicts with obligations under treaties such as the ICCPR, ICESCR, and CEDAW. Finally, this Note evaluates international responses and argues that stronger accountability mechanisms, particularly through the Universal Periodic Review process, are necessary to address these violations.
