The article discusses the create onof a cartographic GIS application for the Commissioners for Human Rights (Ombudsmen) in the region. The authors analyzed official websites of the Commissioners for Rights: human, child, entrepreneurs, etc., in which there is no cartographic GIS application that clearly reveals the activities of the Commissioners. A large amount of information that ombudsmen use in their work can be visually displayed using thematic maps, in their annual reports on their activities to various government agencies, ombudsmen illustrate with graphs and charts. All these data is tied to specific geographic features, so there is a need to present this information on maps using classic cartographic methods (cartograms, cartodiagrams, high-quality background, etc.).
