Also, she analyzes existing and potential mechanisms for their protection. According to the author's point of view, each of humanity's rights is both the foundation for human rights and a sort of "umbrella" that ensures human rights protection. The author considers humanity's rights as a logical continuation of the rights of the first and second generations, which develop and complement them.

The book will benefit scientists, teachers, students of law universities and faculties, as well as anyone interested in the development of ideas of human rights and philosophy of law.
