It is proposed to amend the Constitution of Russia regarding the priority of international law over the Russian legislation. This idea is unrealizable, I’m sure the first deputy head of the committee on constitutional legislation, Senator Konstantin Dobrynin. He pointed out that the first chapter of the Constitution, where this principle is laid down, can not be changed. Dobrynin recalled in an interview to “Interfax” that even in the summer after the decision on the claim of former Yukos shareholders, he proposed to revise the entire array of international treaties. If some of them do not serve the interests of Russia, we can offer them to denounce.
