About
The Russian Ministry of Justice is a federal executive body responsible for overseeing the legal system and non-profit organizations in Russia. It also oversees the Federal Prisons Service, which was transferred to its authority in 2006. The Ministry undertakes legislative improvements, often in response to judgments from the European Court of Human Rights, to enhance individuals’ access to justice, ensure legal certainty, reduce remand detention, and improve detention conditions. It has also collaborated with the Council of Europe to improve the system of free legal aid available to vulnerable social groups.

In July 2022, the Russian Ministry of Justice initiated legal proceedings to shutter the Jewish Agency's operations in Russia, alleging privacy violations in its data collection practices. This represents a significant state-level threat to the Agency's ability to operate in a major Diaspora community.
Since 2022
