Azerbaijan Public Service Announcements
Overall Description/Purpose
The public service announcements (PSAs) produced by ABA/CEELI in collaboration
with Internews support USAID’s Strategic Objective to bring about
a more robust civil society. The PSAs specifically focus on facilitating
greater public awareness of the legal, policy and political advocacy
framework. The premise driving the PSAs is that citizens must be informed
of their rights before those rights can be effectively exercised and
the rule of law upheld. This is particularly important in Azerbaijan
where the Constitution and almost the entire body of substantive law
have been significantly changed in the past few years.
Summary of Individual PSAs
Each PSA contains the statement “Know the Law” in a freeze
frame and each situation portrayed is based upon an unequivocal statement
of law taken directly from the Constitution of Azerbaijan. In most of
the PSAs, the narrator is portrayed as a student. As a result of captioning
and rerecording, the order in which the PSAs appear on the final video
may not match the order below. For this reason a brief description of
the setting is given to assure proper identification of each PSA.
