Do we know how to protect our rights and freedoms?
In March 2002 Institute of Politics held the investigation under the UN research project “Human Rights and Freedoms in Ukraine”. 1200 of Ukrainians were suggested to answer the questions if the rights of Ukrainian citizens were protected. 65.2% were against that statement and only 10% agreed that they lived in the country, where human rights were protected. 60% told about the violation of their rights and freedoms, but only 7.7% appealed to the court or to Ukrainian Parliament Commission for Human Rights.
This diagram shows the rising tendency of people who protect their rights and freedoms in court or other state institutions.
All this gives the reason to remind: those who are against the human right to freedom of thought and speech, are against democracy in Ukraine and prevent the country to become a law-governed state.
