Human Rights are those rights which every human being is entitled to enjoy as a human being. These rights are natural rights and can't be taken away by any system of government. Post- Second World War scenario witnessed the growth and emphasis on human rights in an unprecedented way. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 proved to be a bulwark of re-emphasis on human rights for human beings all over the world. Since then two generations of human rights have registered their presence. The first generation rights were "liberty-oriented", the second generation rights were "security oriented" rights. Both these rights were individual rights. However, in the latter part of the twentieth Century, the third generation of human rights were also initiated which were primarily collective rights. Since then, there is a raging debate among the International law scholars and theorists regarding the acceptance of collective rights within the ambit of human rights. Many of them think that human rights can only be individualistic and not collective. This paper tries to explore this issue and find plausible solution.
