Human rights are that all people have the right to live equally, freely and honorably because of their human beings without any discrimination. Everyone is equal before the law, regardless of race, nation, ethnicity, religion, language and gender. Human rights give each individual the freedom to make independent choices and develop their abilities. These freedoms are balanced by the obligation to respect the rights of others and not to violate these rights.

Economic and social rights, such as the right to work in the first generation, fair and equal pay, the right to a level of life worthy of human dignity, and the right to use health services, are also characterized as second-generation rights. Along with these third generation Rights, Solidarity Rights, expressed as the right to live in a clean environment, the right to ask for technological data protection of private life against art and freedom of science, consumer rights, medical and biological protection against the development are to.
