Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

The classification of human rights into three generations was proposed by Karel Vasak in 1979.

  • First-generation rights: These are traditional civil and political rights (e.g., right to life, freedom of speech, right to vote). They are often called "negative rights" as they require the state to abstain from interfering with individual liberties. Thus, statement 1 is correct.
  • Second-generation rights: These are economic, social, and cultural rights (e.g., right to work, education, and healthcare). They are called "positive rights" because they require proactive state intervention.
  • Third-generation rights: These are known as solidarity rights or collective rights. They include the right to a clean environment, peace, and self-determination. Statement 2 is incorrect because it misidentifies second-generation rights as solidarity rights.
