The article covers the topical problem of constitutionalization of digital human rights in the conditions of digital transformation.The study analyzes doctrinal approaches to the definition of digital human rights as a legal category, the monitoring of the positive internationalexperience of constitutionalization of digital rights, which can be borrowed in the process of the constitutional reform inUkraine.In the study, based on the analysis of normative experience of foreign countries, the author proposes to identify two ways ofdomestic regulation of digital rights: first, it is the constitutionalization of digital rights, with changing the text of the constitution toregulate digital rights at the highest constitutional level, and second, it is the digitization of constitutional rights, when the rightsenshrined in the constitution become updated on the basis of constitutional decisions, the case-law of the European Court of HumanRights or in the relevant legislation.It is proposed to distinguish “digital rights”, including the right to access to electronic devices and telecommunications networks(Internet), the right to protection of personal data, the right to information self-identification, the right to anonymity, the right to be forgotten,the right to free transfer and dissemination of information, etc. However, it should be taken into consideration that in the processof reforming and carrying out constitutional and legal modernization, it is necessary to take into account the possibility and necessityof the realization of fundamental human rights, which are already defined in the Constitution of Ukraine, but are being implemented inthe conditions of digitalization.It is emphasized that in the process of development of the constitutional law of Ukraine the potential of digital transformation isnot realized in full today, and perspective tendencies have such priorities as the development of network forms of interaction, communicativetechnologies of control and planning, formation of qualitatively updated model of digital rights development. Also, in order toincrease the effectiveness of the implementation of digital rights, it is necessary to use the legal reception from countries where constitutionaland legal modernization has already taken place taking into account the digital transformation and has a positive experience ofregulation, including at the highest constitutional level. It should be borne in mind that in addition to ensuring and implementing digitalhuman rights, it is necessary to develop a concept of digital duties and responsibilities for the violation of these rights in order to preventnegative risks and abuse.
