Russia's persistent emphasis on nuclear deterrence limits Russia's maneuver in local and regional wars (in the spectrum from low-intensity operations to nuclear warfare).

 ISCIP - Perspective
Nevertheless, Russia (as successor state to the USSR) is still not a signatory to a number of important international human rights agreements, for example, the UNESCO Agreement on the Importation of Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Materials, as well as ILO Convention No. 105, which focuses on the abolition of forced labor.
At this point, the main obstacle to resolving the problem of human rights in Russia lies in the low level of legal consciousness of the people--notably the intelligentsia and state employees--and in the absence of respect for the law and lack of the habit of automatic observance of the law.
As many good laws as one could possibly wish for may be passed in Russia, but until a generation of citizens is formed that is brought up to respect the law, progress toward a law-based society will continue only at a snail's pace.
