The meaning of the generations of human rights
Abstract
The recognition of human rights entails considering the evolution that they have undergone in their characterization throughout history, linked to a generational process that makes it possible to appreciate how, even starting from the commonly accepted consideration that they all possess a substrate linked to the concept of the dignity of the person, they have been endowed with different contents and different structures in the different historical phases. Thus, the generational approach to human rights implies recognizing the existence of a prior history in which various categories of rights have been identified, which could be augmented according to the emergence of new sensibilities and new social scenarios, even if consideration of the values that underlie these rights is detrimental to the results that the strictly historicist interpretation of the problem leads to. Everything will depend on the point of view adopted in this respect
