<p>This article addresses the critical issue of human rights protection in digital environment, with the legal frameworks governing digital rights as a core concept. The main research questions examine key threats to human rights online and effectiveness of existing international and national mechanisms for safeguarding these rights. The study employs a comparative analysis of legal systems, specifically focusing evolving legal framework in response to the digital challenges in the EU, the U.S., and Ukraine, including the role of the Internet during the Russian-Ukrainian war. Using formal-legal and systemic methods, the research assesses the effectiveness of these regulatory approaches. The results reveal significant differences in protection of digital rights across the EU, the U.S., and Ukraine, highlighting gaps in enforcement and practical application. The findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on the need for stronger global collaboration in digital rights regulation and propose recommendations for enhancing legal protections in the digital sphere, particularly in Ukraine’s context. This research advances the understanding of how international legal standards can be integrated into national legislation, offering new perspectives for policymakers and legal scholars.</p>
