First Generation Human Rights

1st generation of human righs =The First Generation=
The first generation of human rights are based on the principles of individualism and non-interference—they tend to be “negative” rights, based on the Anglo-American principles of liberty. This first generation of rights developed under a strong mistrust of government and has since evolved into what are now known as “civil” or political” rights. These rights include the right to life, the right to property, the right to be seen equal before the law and the right to stay at home.

:::1) The right to life
