Let's find out what alliances are

If you have a desire to learn about what unions are from the legislative point of view, then you need to turn first to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The first part (Article 129) states that associations or unions are non-profit organizations based on mandatory or voluntary membership. They are created to protect a different kind of interests, to achieve goals that do not contradict the law. At the same time, the goals of the association or union can not pursue the extraction of profits.

What are the unions for those who enter into them? Almost always members of the organization must perform any actions defined by the charter of this association (participate in the creation of property, get acquainted with accounting and other types of documentation, pay fees). But they are not responsible for his actions with their property. Although the law (or the same statute) may provide for such liability. The union itself is responsible for its obligations with all its property.

In addition to the Civil Code, detailing what unions are, what functions they have, the order of their formation and functioning is reflected in various regulatory acts. For example, the Law "On Non-Profit Organizations" (No. 7-FZ, adopted in 1996 (January 12)), in the legislative act regulating the registration of legal entities (Federal Law No. 129, issued in 2001 (August 08)). There are also a number of industry documents, according to which consumer, charitable, public unions (associations) are created.

For example, the Union of Russian Airborne Troops is an association of servicemen, veterans, invalids, servicemen or servicemen in the airborne troops, marines units, special forces units, as well as those who suffered in local conflicts, man-made disasters , etc., on a professional basis. Was registered in 2003. Its founders were a number of foundations and all-Russian and interregional organizations (the Union of the Airborne Troops, the Union of Heroes of the Russian Federation, the organization of the disabled Chernobylets, the organization of the Marines Typhoon and others).

Also in our country, the Union of Artists and the Union of Architects of Russia are sufficiently known. The latter strengthens contacts with the architects of other countries, helps to preserve the architectural heritage, studies the history and development of the architectural trade, protects the community from laymen in the sphere of urban planning, etc. Only the person having the appropriate education, high professional level, working experience in Specialties from three years, as well as participating in public and other activities.

In addition to intra-state associations, there are international unions, most of which are regulated by separate documents. For example, in 1999 (on February 26) an agreement on the Customs Union (and a single economic space) was formalized. According to this document, Russia, Kazakhstan, the Republic of Belarus, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan were to create an effective domestic market for goods, labor, services and capital, unified energy and transportation systems, and to conduct coordinated customs, trade, tax, monetary and other policies. The principles of non-discrimination, beneficial relationships, equality, responsibility for obligations - that's what unions of this level are. This is what they must carry to the countries in which they enter.
