Digital Human Rights: Problems of Realization and Protection
摘要
The article discusses the problem of defining “digital human rights” and classifying digital rights in Ukraine. It is shown that there is currently a need to enshrine digital rights at both the national and international levels by creating additional guarantees for the realization and protection of this type of rights. In the study, we actualize the problem of protecting human rights and individual rights, taking into account their digital component (access to the Internet, rights, freedoms and prohibitions on the Internet, etc.) The author emphasizes the need to distinguish a separate group of “digital rights”, which should include the right to access the Internet; freedom of expression online; right to privacy and protection of personal data; right to freedom and personal security online; the right to peaceful assembly, association and/or use of electronic tools of democracy; the right to digital self-determination, or the right to disconnect from online or be forgotten online. It is proposed to consider digital human rights as a separate group of human rights that are related to the use and/or realization of on the Internet with the help of special devices (computers, smartphones, etc.). We can state that there is a large number of digital rights that need to be regulated, and some of them are fundamental in terms of their importance and significance for a person and require constitutionalization.
