Document Summary
People felt that they did not just need security as a military kind, they also needed social security; against economic disasters, unemployment etc. Social security-> people need their economic and social lives secure. These are 2nd generation rights, so they are not first generation rights. Simply distinguished as the next 5 articles : 1st generation (articles 1-21) civil & political rights, 2nd generation (22-27) social, economic & cultural. The best way to understand them is to go through articles of universal declaration of human rights; Article 22: everyone as a member of society has a right to social security this article makes dignity a key concept. Also free development of his personality; idea as people as ends in themselves. Article 23: more substantive, many rights about work. Right to work, free choice of employment (works against slavery). Just and favorable conditions of work, (health and safety monitoring) protection against unemployment.
