Three generations of Human Rights

Three generations of Human Rights

The division of man rights into three generations was introduced in 1979 by Czech jurist Karel Vasak. The three categories align with the three tenets with the French Revolution: freedom, equality, and fraternity. First-generation, “civil-political” rights cope with liberty and taking part in political lifetime. His divisions adhere to the three watchwords with the French Revolution: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.
