It could be appropriate to describe the differences ome have with regards to Third Gebneration Rights - whether or not being Human Rights. For Example, Jack Donnelly in "The Concept of Human Rights" claims that Human Rights are rights of Human beings while third generationrights are rights of communities, which are a different kind of entities. - Eyal Netanel
[edit] Vasak mentions 3-Generation in 1977
Vasak first mentions "third generation human rights" in November, 1977.

[edit] right to bear arms
Where does the civil liberty, the right to bear arms fit in? I inserted it, then reviewed it, and it didn't fit because the focus is purely European. Is this about Europe? I already added text to this effect. If not, the the right to bear arms is an important right intended to deter tyranny. Would this make it first-genertion? Raggz 22:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it's definitely first generation. 63.95.64.254 (talk) 20:53, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
I don't understand what kind of right is bearing harmful instruments. I understand the real right about arms is the "right not to be killed, harmed or threatened by an arm", which is in fact included in the right to life, health, and freedom. Everywhere in the world. I really wanted to talk about the self-determination right, which is included in the first point of the first article of the first part of the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights and, therefore, second-generation, not third. Am I right?
