Abstract

This article brings a historical overview of the issue of the third generation of human rights. The authors remind us of the history of Human rights norms, introduce readers to the historical documents in which human rights are barely announced, especially directing attention to the historical circumstances of the occurrence of the Third-generation human rights. Third-generation human rights show that human rights are not merely institutions but they are developing and changing. On the other hand, through them, we can identify new problems that threaten the right to life of all people. Therefore, these rights should seek and find their place in the catalogue of human rights. Standards of human life should be based on the capabilities of natural environment without exhausting resources that should retain unchanged quality and level of exploitation for future generations. Unlike the first and second generation of human rights these solidarity rights are not primarily focused on the protection of individuals; they refer to the class of different social groups of humans.
