Despite the abundance of human rights work in the legal literature, there is no consensus on their understanding. In an effort to highlight the most important, in their opinion, signs, the authors offer their vision of this problem and formulate various definitions. The article discusses the points of view on the concept of “human rights” existing in science, their various classifications are given. Depending on the time of emergence and recognition by states in relation to human rights, the generations of human rights represented in science are considered.
