A FEW THEORETICAL EXPLORATIONS REGARDING THE NEW HUMAN RIGHT: THE RIGHT TO DURABLE PROSPERITY

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the present paper is to elaborate an academic prospection regarding new developments of international law, by taking into account the need for a substantial reform and expansion of the contemporary international law, especially the human rights, due to major and continuous changes in the global world. This requires a better capacity for states and international organizations to defend the human rights at a higher level and to identify new forms and modalities of improving the present quality of juridical protection for human beings. The papers starts by discussing a basic typology of human rights (human rights to survival/subsistence and, on the other hand, the category of “comfort and civilization human rights”, that we propose to identify, developed by academic scholars during the 21st century, as a superior juridical level of human rights protection). All these rights are indivisible, universal and interdependent, regardless of their category; nevertheless, we have to notice the insufficient attention paid by states and international organizations to the second category of human rights (defined as rights indicating the level of human comfort, well-being, the benefits of civilization and the continuous improvement of life standards). Therefore, in this context, we propose the right to sustainable prosperity, as a distinct right of the second, “improved” category of human rights, as a right designed to offer for human beings the superior level of legal protection necessary to attain a better quality of life, at the 21stcentury standards of civilization and technology.
