Methods: in the preparation of the study, a comparative law method was used, which made it possible to identify the differences in the legal regulation of relations between the Russian Federation and the Kyrgyz Republic; a systematic approach; and the methods of axiomatic, functional research. Results: the study analyzes the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Kyrgyz Republic. The possibilities of using the positive experience of the two states when making changes to the current civil legislation are considered. The problem of limiting the responsibility of internal affairs bodies is analyzed. Various approaches by the authors to solving this problem are investigated. Conclusions: the concept of civil liability is formulated, which is based on the differentiation of the concepts of sanctions and liability, as well as taking into account the need for the harmer to undergo additional negative consequences and responsibilities. The necessity of making changes to the current civil legislation is justified.
