The impact of mass media on public understanding of human rights is the focus of this initial investigation. I, Abdul Karim Abdullah, am the author. This study set out to examine how the media in Iraq shapes public perceptions of human rights. A representative sample of the Iraqi population was surveyed using a questionnaire to collect the data. The study concluded that media plays a major role in human rights awareness-raising due to its contributions to publicizing information about human rights and helping the general population better grasp these rights. At the same time, the media can also directly influence public and private behavior regarding human rights by increasing public knowledge of these issues and encouraging all people to stand up for what they truly believe. This study actually aims to study how all media outlets in Iraq actually contribute to defending human rights. All data came from interviews with distinguished and well-known Iraqi journalists and human rights defenders. The study's conclusions actually confirm that these media can greatly help in protecting human rights by directly highlighting violations and spreading real awareness of this protection. In addition, mainstream media may amplify the voices of these human rights defenders and put pressure on governments to protect and protect these basic freedoms. The lack of freedoms for the media in Iraq has an impact on how human rights concerns are covered by the media, either by restricting coverage or by handling it in an unfair way.
