NATURE OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THIRD GENERATION
INTRODUCTION-
Human rights are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is
inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being. Human rights, like we know them
today, are the product of a long revolutionary historical process as a reaction to concrete threats
to human dignity. Due to their different historical, religious, political and cultural origins, three
generations of human rights became apparent. The side event aims at the analysis of the
similarities of these three generations, focusing on the collective dimensions of human rights.
First generation human rights in general are civil or political by nature.
Second generation human rights as laid down in the United Nations International Covenant on
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) refer to the assurance of adequate social and
material general set-ups (e.g. the Right to Food, the Right to Education) for individuals.
Unlike dealing with first- and second-generation of human rights under this aspect, the
classification of third generation rights into traditional juridical categories appears to be quite
difficult. It has been the basis for controversial political and juridical discussions over several
decades until today. In comparison to first- and second generation rights, solidarity rights do
not primarily focus on the protection of the autonomous individual. They rather address more
directly the collective of social groups or peoples. This project will deal with the various aspect
of human rights in the third generation and the laws relating to and regulating human rights.
We are human beings. What does it mean to be a human being? How are human beings different
from the other living beings.
In terms of life sciences humans are primates of the family of homo-sapiens wherein they belong
to the genus, homo and species, sapiens. In histor (Placeholder1)
i
y, human beings have been
described as civilized living beings capable of communicating with the help of language and
those who started the system of living in an organized society.
In political science, human beings have been defined as those
social or political living beings who developed the system through
which a human society would function in an organized and lawful manner. Human beings are the
most evolved and therefore the most complex among the living organisms on the earth. We are
known to be social beings and cannot live without society. Peaceful coexistence is the basis of

3


our life and thus it is important to have respect as well as protect the life of eachother. What is
special about being human? As humans, we can think and articulate thoughts, we also have a
sense of right and are wrong, which is our conscience. Human beings may be different in colour,
gender, caste, size and even shape but we are still human and have the same basic human rights.






REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Rethinking "Third Generation" Human Rights - Classifying human rights according to
"generations" is a form of their characterization. This approach considers civil and political
rights as the first generation; economic, social and cultural rights as the second; and a new
category named "collective rights" or "rights of peoples" as the third generation. The subject
matter of this article is simply an attempt to reconsider the last generation. In this context, having
revealed the arguments in the field of those rights, in brief, this paper will discuss whether or not
the approach of "generations of rights" can contribute to the protection of human rights in
general, and whether it is a natural product of evolution of the theory of human rights.
Particularly helpful in this regard is the notion of three generations of human rights advanced
by the French jurist Karel Vasak. Inspired by the three themes of the French Revolution, they
are: the first generation, composed of civil and political rights (libert); the second generation of
economic, social, and cultural rights (galit); and the third generation of solidarity or group
rights (fraternit). Vasaks model is, of course, a simplified expression of an extremely complex
historical record, and it is not intended to suggest a linear process in which each generation gives
birth to the next and then dies away. Nor is it to imply that one generation is more important than
another, or that the generations (and their categories of rights) are ultimately separable. The three
generations are understood to be cumulative, overlapping, and, it is important to emphasize,
interdependent and interpenetrating.

HUMAN RI GHTS-

Human rights are rights to which all the human beings are entitled, simply because we are human
our human rights are inalienable and they belong to all of us, whatever our caste, class, race, age,
gender, religion or belief, and should not taken away from us under any circumstances. The term
human rights covers a broad range of rights, from the right to freedom of religion to the right to
food and shelter. All are as important as eachother and are owned to us in equal measure.
Human rights are universal. This means that human rights are so important that the international
community has deemed that everyone has them, regardless of where they live, or their economic,
social or political situation. Regardless of whether you live in china, the United States, India, or
any other country, you have certain rights that are guaranteed by international law, and
sometimes also by domestic law. Human Rights are not a western concept. For example, no
culture in the world has ever condoned torture or extra-judicial executions.
There are two main kinds of rights:-
1. Economic, social and cultural rights
2. Civil and political rights.
Universal declaration of human rights:-
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all
members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have
outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall
enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the
highest aspiration of the common people, It is also essential, if man is not compelled to have
recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be
protected by the rule of law, It is also essential to promote the development of friendly relations
between nations,the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and
fundamental freedoms, Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the
greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge, Now therefore, The general assembly,

6


proclaims this universal declaration of human rights as a common standard of achievement for
all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of the society,
keeping this declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote
respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to
secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of
Members States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.
Human rights are certain principles that set out standards of human behavior and are regularly
protected as human rights.


HYPOTHESIS
There is a rising concern of human rights all over the world
Whether there is a central regulation authority of Human rights.


STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
What is the conflict between the generations of rights?
What is the history of human rights in India?
What does the third generation human rights mean?

THREE GENERATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS

The use of the term generation was never meant to imply any distinct historical difference or
hierarchy of one generation over another. This is largely due to interrelatedness of all human
rights. The First Generation in the seventeenth and eighteenth century human rights is
represented by civil and political rights of the individuals or the liberty oriented rights. The
Second Generation human rights,
Correspond to the protection of economic, social and cultural rights. They are called security
oriented as they provide for social, economic and cultural security. They are more positive in
nature than negative. The Third Generation human rights are also called solidarity rights.
They are concerned with the rights of groups and people, rather than of individuals. They are not
universally accepted in the international community as such.
The human rights mentioned and discussed above are not allowed to be enjoyed by every
individual. Women, children SC/ST persons, religious minorities, HIV/AIDS patients, refugees
and other marginalized sections of the society are much prone to human rights violation. Hence,
this study aims at bringing out to light the torments suffered by victims of human rights
violation. As it is not possible to include all the groups in a study, only select groups of very
important nature namely, women and dalits are included in the present study.

CONFLICT BETWEEN GENERATION OF RIGHTS

Rights multiplication process led to the emergence of some frictions, conflicts between them.
Thus, the generation of socio-economic rights , which requires the commitment and support of
the state in the economy, for example , restrict the rights of the first generation and the right
Or the rights to limit the power of the state (the issue of new taxes and control of their
implementation) . Or, for example,
the right to education , education and freedom of scientific research conflict with the field of
genetic manipulation;
the right to security of the person . Conflict with the law of privacy
It is estimated that the conflict between the rights of individuals from different generations or
between them and the people jurisdize goals ( fourth-generation rights ) and a factor in the crisis ,
a potential threat to the rule of law. People qualified man makes the universal rights of
individuals are cross-border interest , for consideration at the international level is the position of
the state . It is estimated that the conflict between the rights in two ways:
Conflicts between various designs on a fundamental right ;
protect against conflicts of failure or the exercise of a fundamental right , without violating
another basic right. ;

It is quite possible that the exercise of a fundamental right not plenary another fundamental right
, without limitation , the right to the technological development in the right environment , the
right to work , Greetings Right to social security . Mrs. Sofia conflict Professor Popescu is on
their " existence of rights (economic, as she explained protected successfully against the various
social interests of the various rights and the rivalry between the values of the various human
rights between different protected generations of human rights and the protection of human
rights , social and cultural), and includes massive second-generation parliament , are in danger of
the first generation of human rights (civil and political rights) .

Thus, the concern and obligation to keep the balance of the exercise of individual rights go to the
government (and not just as the civil society , which make their own contribution can ) . You
need to bring agreement between the interests ( civil and political rights of the first-generation
rights ) and stakeholders ( people human social solidarity of the second generation rights ) . Such
a state is the state of human rights and the modern notion of the social situation of the people.

HISTORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS
For centuries, women have not only a miscarriage of justice in the world full social, economic
and political , but also the lower part ? They have been used, abused, exploited and then
discarded in immoral behavior and street vagabond life without means, until her death. Although
they make up about half of the total population and have helped and did not sacrifice less than
men in national struggles for freedom, at any time , but you , because were robbed in various
fields of activities of their actions and inhuman and degrading disorders from birth to exposed to
death without sin.
The Indian woman as a social evil to be burnt on the pyre of her husband. Today, however,
women have broken their poor social barriers and are willing to challenges of the present,
without providing help and hesitation and therefore on 8 March is strictly respected and
celebrated in several countries, including India, as a sign of integrated services, same rights, the
status and dignity of women and their equal participation in economic, social and cultural
development in today's world scenario.
Women make up half the world's population, but they are placed at different positions due to
adverse Gender differences and prejudices. They were dominating the victims of violence and
exploitation by the society of men all over the world. Our company is a tradition in which
women were socially, economically , physically, psychologically and sexually has always been ,
sometimes, sometimes written in the name of religion under the pretext of the Scriptures , and
sometimes exploited by connected social sanctions. The concept of equality between men and
women was almost unknown to us. Before the promulgation of the Constitution of India Of
course, the Preamble to the Constitution that seeks the supreme law of landmark, to guarantee its
citizens , including women folk justice? Social, economic and political, liberty of thought -
freedom of expression, to promote faith, faith and worship, equality and equal opportunities and
brotherhood to ensure that the dignity of the person.
The story is a silent witness to the inhuman suffering that man has inflicted on the people .
The right to freedom of man is the sacred right for him and therefore he should not take place
without the sanction of the law. A successful and meaningful life presupposes full of dignity,
honor , health and well -being in modern philosophy . The treatment of people offended human

arbitrary and it is impossible to code human behavior in every religion.

Description of the right to protection has been widely discussed and put to good use by Plato, the
Greek and Roman philosophers. The debate on religious basis. Right to vote, the right to trade,
the right to access to justice for citizens, etc. were donated by the city of the state of Greece.
King John of England granted the English Magna Charta Baron June 15, 1215, that their

world of the nineteenth century to know the human right to the man, she must . The value of the
human personality began to be realized.
The result of the human rights movement has been experienced after the Second World War by
the people. Throughout the war Humanitism was killed for crimes against humanity and heinous
rights was shocked. History has witnessed in silence tyranny and complete anarchy Nazi leader
of Germany. Values and human dignity and morality were brutally interrupted. Rights people
have become the need of the hour to establish peace and security international.
Growth and development of human rights and the right International had made remarkable
progress since the year 1945. Several deeds, contracts, etc., was made for the effective
implementation of human rights, such as.

THIRD GENERATION HUMAN RIGHTS

The use of the term generation was never meant to imply any distinct historical difference or
hierarchy of one generation over another. This is largely due to interrelatedness of all human
rights. The First Generation in the seventeenth and eighteenth century human rights are
represented by civil and political rights of the individuals or the liberty oriented rights. The
Second Generation human rights, correspond to the protection of economic, social and cultural
rights. They are called security oriented as they provide for social, economic and cultural
security. They are more positive in nature than negative. The Third Generation human rights
are also called solidarity rights. They are concerned with the rights of groups and people,
rather than of individuals. They are not universally accepted in the international community as
such. The human rights mentioned and discussed above are not allowed to be enjoyed by every
individual. Women, children SC/ST persons, religious minorities, HIV/AIDS patients, refugees
and other marginalized sections of the society are much prone to human rights violation. Hence,
this study aims at bringing out to light the torments suffered by victims of human rights
violation. As it is not possible to include all the groups in a study, only select groups of very
important nature namely, women and dalits are included in the present study. This grouping has
been distinguished from the other two categories of human rights in that its realisation is
predicated not only upon both the affirmative and negative duties of the state, but also upon the
behaviour of each individual. Rights in this category include self-determination as well as a host
of normative expressions whose status as human rights is controversial at present. These include
the right to development, the right to peace, the right to a healthy environment, and the right to
intergenerational equity.The right to a healthy environment requires a healthy human habitat,
including clean water, air, and soil that are free from toxins or hazards that threaten human
health.

The right to a healthy environment entails the obligation of governments to


13



refrain from interfering directly or indirectly with the enjoyment of the right to a healthy
environment
prevent third parties such as corporations from interfering in any way with the enjoyment
of the right to a healthy environment, and
adopt the necessary measures to achieve the full realisation of the right to a healthy
environment.

However, do individuals really have the challengeability when it comes to human rights and, or
are these still considered to be merely aspirational soft law?
