Promotion of human rights and education

As the National Human Rights Institution, the Ombudsman is also committed to promoting and raising awareness of the rights of the various members of the public. Campaigns and other events are mainly designed at the Centre for Human Rights, which was set up, among other things, for this purpose, and the role of promoters is assumed by virtually all staff members in their daily duties. For example, when a person calls the Single Point of Entry, the assistants help them to understand the pathways to claiming their rights. The Ombudsman's office produces materials, publications, visual messages, answers to journalists' questions and many other texts to raise public awareness, directly or indirectly, about the ways in which they can protect their rights. The Professional Service also takes the petitioners' orientations in protecting their rights into account in its overall handling of the petitions. The Ombudsman's project work aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of a particular issue in cooperation with governmental and non-governmental organisations and representatives of civil society. The projects are intended to provide suggestions for a different, more effective way of dealing with human rights violations.

In short, we inform and educate the public about human rights in different ways and through different channels:

  • through websites,
  • through social networks
  • through publications and promotional materials
  • through occasional promotional material
  • creating actions, campaigns and events
  • through face-to-face discussions between the Ombudsman and the Deputy Ombudsmen and the target publics,
  • through face-to-face discussions between the Ombudsman and his/her deputies and the target audiences,
  • through lectures by the Ombudsperson and the deputies to the target audiences,
  • dissemination of cases from the work of the Ombudsman
  • on missions away from headquarters
  • Ombudsman's Corners
  • active participation of the Ombudsman's experts in conferences, seminars, round tables and other forms of public presentation of the Ombudsman's work,
  • through training in conjunction with the Centre for Judicial Education
  • through cooperation with schools and faculties (seminar assignments, awarding of prizes for bachelor's and master's theses and doctorates)
