KEY ASPECTS OF THE MECHANISM FOR PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE INFORMATION SOCIETY

Abstract

Ukrainian society is experiencing active digitalization of all spheres of life – from public administration to private communication. This creates new conditions for the implementation of human rights, but also generates new risks (violation of privacy, illegal access to personal data, manipulation of information flows, etc.). The relevance of studying the mechanism for protecting human rights in the information society is growing due to the lack of unified approaches to defining and protecting information rights, which requires complex legal solutions. The information society is changing the nature of legal relations: access to information, freedom of expression, the right to privacy and protection of personal data are becoming extremely important for the individual, while the complexity of digital technologies affects their practical implementation and protection. Similarly, digital transformations pose challenges for copyright protection, since intellectual property objects are easily copied, reproduced and distributed without proper legal protection. Against this background, there is a need to implement an effective legal protection mechanism that would harmonize the implementation of human rights and copyright protection in the digital environment. Compliance with human rights guarantees and their protection are enshrined in both national and international regulatory acts. Of course, ensuring, implementing, and protecting human rights is an important indicator of every legal state. Fulfilling the task of protecting human rights depends, first of all, on the level of achievements of the country and the mechanisms that exist at the national level. The mechanism for protecting human rights is the relationship between the bearer of the right (a specific person) to protection and the state authority, which is carried out in the procedural regime of implementing law enforcement relations in order to protect subjective rights. The study contributes to the formation of a generalized theory of information human rights as a separate direction of law, which includes the consideration of rights and freedoms in the digital environment, the analysis of the natural and legal limits of their implementation, as well as the modeling of effective protection mechanisms.
