The Ombudsman can investigate complaints related to potential human rights violations and determine whether your human rights have been violated. He can also suggest that the government amend a law if he has discovered that certain legal provisions have a negative effect on human rights or good governance.
The Ombudsman can investigate situations relating to a violation of your human rights by Ukrainian state institutions, local governments, private individuals or companies. The Ombudsman cannot consider complaints about human rights violations in courts.
