These protest movements become apparent the need to complete the catalog of rights and freedoms of the first generation with a second generation of rights: economic, social and cultural rights. The protest human rights strategy is presented today with the novel unequivocally polarized around issues such as the right to peace, the rights of consumers, the right to quality of life, liberty or computer features. Based on it, it opens up, with increasing intensity, the conviction that we are dealing with a third generation of human rights complements earlier stages.
