Right to Solidarity and Iinternational Solidarity: Challenges Ahead and the Most Recent Changes

Abstract

Generations theory in human rights on the one hand, and solidarity rights on the hand have always had proponents and opponents. After three decades of the emergence of solidarity rights, it has been accepted much better on the regional level than on the global scale. Nevertheless, in recent years the United Nations has endeavored to introduce a new reading of solidarity rights through its two special reporters, who seek to reintroduce this right and its instances. But the question that arises is whether recent measures of the United Nations could be considered as a new evolution of solidarity rights? Will reporters be able to redefine and recognize solidarity rights as a collective and third generation right in the human rights system? This article tries to analyze and consider the relationship between solidarity rights and the right to international solidarity through with an overview of the latest instruments and reports. It seems that the reporters of the United Nations seek third generation rights through the “Right of peoples and individual to international solidarity” in order to present a new plan.
