Abstract
In recent years there has been growing support, manifested in various international fora, for the notion that a third generation of human rights, composed of solidarity rights, is emerging. The principal assumptions behind this concept are: (1) that the principal categories or sets of human rights presently recognized by international law (civil and political rights on one hand and economic, social and cultural rights on the other) can be termed respectively first and second generation rights; (2) that these rights are not sufficiently flexible or dynamic to be able to respond adequately to present circumstances; (3) that there is a set of more or less homogeneous demands which are distinguished primarily by the fact that solidarity is a prerequisite to their realization; and (4) that these new demands are presently in the process of acquiring international recognition as human rights.
