Аннотация: The article considers the remarks of the UN Human Rights Committee on the report of the Russian Federation about the fulfillment of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Committee noted the positive changes which had taken place in the country since the previous report and formulated the remarks and recommendations to the Russian Federation. Special attention in the paper is paid to the legal position of the Committee about the efficiency of Russian control over the territory of the self-proclaimed republics of Eastern Ukraine and to the conclusion about the necessity of the efficient realization of the Committee’s considerations in Russia. The study is based on the analysis of the legal provisions of the Human Rights Committee and the foreign literature devoted to the legal status of its provisions. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that this is the first translation and analysis of the remarks of the Committee on the report of the Russian Federation adopted on March 31, 2015. The author enumerates pluses and minuses of the remarks.

Аннотация: The article considers some urgent aspects of France’s cultural diplomacy as an attribute of “soft power”; it outlines the traditionally special place of cultural policy in the strategy of preservation and strengthening of France’s global influence in the conditions of a hidden resistance to the lingua-cultural influence of the USA and their claims on the intellectual leadership in the modern world. Soft power has always played an important role in France’s foreign policy. As globalization is expanding, the problem of preservation and strengthening of their cultural identity and civilizational diversity is becoming more important for the countries with developed culture. In this regard France, a country with a great cultural influence, is an example of a country which, due to the committed and well-thought state policy, has been successfully defending its “cultural uniqueness” for centuries.

Ключевые слова: international relations, foreign policy, France, Soft power, diplomacy, cooperation, state, interests, values, security.
