U.H.Rights Law - U.H.Rights (original) (raw)
The most generally accepted way of classifying these rights is by distinguishing “first, second, and third generation” rights, so we will go that way for now, although we will soon see that this classification can be applied with reservations, and sometimes simply misleading. These categories are not something strictly delineated; they are just one of many classifications of various rights. Most rights belong to more than one category. For example, the right to express one’s opinion is both a civil and a political right. It is necessary for participation in political activities, but it is also fundamental to our personal freedom.
