Human Rights Of The Third Generation

Human Rights of the Third Generation

The so -called human rights of the third generation demand public policies that develop them and the active collaboration of civil society. This latest generation of rights – whose paradigmatic example can be environmental rights – arises mainly as a result of the existence of threatening factors for consolidated rights, it is technological, demographic elements or any other gender, provided they have an impactqualitative in the evolution of circumstances. Third generation rights are rights that affect man as an individual and as a group, are rights that encompass their protection to humanity itself. In the same way, the problems derived from biotechnology and biomedicine affect all humanity, including future generations, and have to be addressed from this point of view: new situations need to be focused based on the principle of solidarity, and public policies are not enough to face them, but also demand the effort of civil society.

It is worth asking today if autonomy, peace, security, life, privacy, environment preservation constitute new rights, are these rights ‘as always’ not? This question answers the new scenario of globalization and boom of the computer media, in addition to the circumstances of the society in which these rights were forged and in which we are today, say: could we consider that we talk about the same right whenThe right to life against the arbitration of the feudal lord is protected, that when the mention of the right to life refers to the prohibition of the use of embryos for experimentation, or cloning, or its debate on euthanasia? Are we faced with the same right? Or the dimension of this has changed?, To give another example, it is known that peace and security have always been one of the first objectives of law, but do we talk about the same peace when we refer to the derivative of wars, with the use of computers and the use of substancesthat affect not only the enemy, but to whole populations and, even, the army itself? Another example do we talk about the same privacy when we invoke the principle of inviolability of the address that when we refer to the protection of sensitive data against their computerized treatment? Or is the same confidentiality that appeals to the duty to keep the professional secrecy of the traditional header doctor as the one that is threatened with the computerization of the medical records and their management?

As we see the circumstances in which the first rights and their content constantly changes as society progresses, so it is so that the globalization of economic activity and communications encourages an absolutely interrelated world, in which transcendent decisions not onlyThey limit their consequences to a country, but they can also affect humanity as a whole. It is precisely for this reason that it is essential to speak not only of the rights of man but also of the rights of humanity and of future generations, with the aim of preserving the possibilities of survival and choice for the future in the medium and long term.

Another fact to take into account is the latest report by Amnesty International, published in February 2018, alert of the disturbing setbacks and threats that loom in the world about human rights, emphasizing a series of black points that should be analyzed: for example, hatred and fear have gone from rhetoric to reality, since there are many governments that have tried to apply policies that normalize large -scale discrimination from minorities and marginalized groups, withdrawing guarantees of protection of human rights that haveIt is a lot to get. The fact of not putting war crimes and humanity crimes has the terrible consequence of making the world an increasingly dangerous place. The vertiginous increase in inequality is creating a climate conducive to the aggravation of social division and governments, instead of addressing these basic ills, they repress people and organizations that decide to raise their voice. Topics such as those of men and women, Yemen bombings, the massive displacement of immigrants seeking new opportunities in the face of the insecurity of their countries of origin, to say some are those that graph the current state of human rights and usIt allows to see that as society has advanced it seems that the spectrum of human rights protection is left sideways, which is a true concern.

The foregoing leads us to conclude that traditional legal categories are now insufficient in these circumstances and require that the right as a whole be reinterpreted according to the new needs to be faced, situations that have been mentioned between lines, such asThe environmental problem, the development of biotechnology, the massive displacements of people (migratory movement), etc. The law has ahead of the challenge and the possibility of creating the frameworks in accordance with the use of biomnetology and biomedicine, as well as the use of information in computer media that guarantee respect for human rights, which supposes beforeAll establish the conditions of definition and construction of the problems and evaluation of risks, taking into account that there is no human activity without it and also that our society has been defined precisely by the same risk. Freedom, including research, cannot be denied: it is about learning to use it by establishing what are the criteria that we jointly estimate as a coexistence framework of its many facets. Likewise, social development is inevitable before this human rights must be presented as the main criterion for the guarantee of coexistence and respect for the dignity inherent in man.
