Abstract
The article reveals the urgent problem of ensuring the constitutional rights of Ukrainian citizens, in particular the right to information access and to familiarize themselves with the mechanisms for protecting their rights in everyday life. A significant role in this process is played by the information activities of public authorities, who are responsible for ensuring the civil rights of the inhabitants of their country. In order to increase the legal literacy of Ukrainians and to inform the population about the existing legal mechanisms for protecting their rights, on June 7, 2017, a national human rights education project of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine «I HAVE THE RIGHT» was launched. The main objective of the project is to provide citizens of Ukraine with information about the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, to teach these rights, how to exercise them and how do they protect. Implementation of the project is planned until 2022. Project slogan: I KNOW! ACTION! PROTECT! I know my rights. I use them and know what to do when my rights are violated. I protect myself according to the laws, and the state protects me and my rights. To clarify the objectives of this project and its implementation, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine widely uses various informational events, during which citizens are informed and specific recommendations are provided on protecting their rights on the 229 most pressing issues. Depending on the current legal needs of society, the project defines socially significant blocks for protecting the rights of citizens, in accordance with which awareness-raising campaigns are conducted. Analysis of the activities conducted by the Ministry of Justice within the «I have the right!» project in 2017– 2019 has enaenabled to classify the informational campaigns performed by two main criteria – their reach and target audience. The instruments of those campaigns’ implementation and the main channels are shown. The dissemination of legal knowledge within the framework of the project helps to attract citizens to legal activity and legal norms of behavior. In 2017-2019, the project covered more than 15 million (36%) of citizens throughout the country. In 2019, the project was among the 30 finalists of the international competition «World Justice Challenge 2019: Access to Justice Solutions», due to the fact that it aims to recognize best practices and successful solutions in the field of justice that contribute to the establishment of the rule of law. So, the effects achieved by the Ministry of Justice from the «I have the right!» project & activities show that it has reached its underlying strategic goals. Notwithstanding – some activities need to be worked on further
