Background and Aim: Today, the complexity of relations and expansion of societies and the reciprocal needs of countries have made unity and solidarity among the international community an undeniable fact. Thus, novel rights under the title of solidarity rights are being formed, which lay the ground for unity and solidarity in the international arena that affects the development of the third generation of human rights. Our goal in this article is to investigate the qualities of solidarity rights and their impacts on the development of the third generation of human rights.
Materials and Methods: This article is descriptive-analytical research that uses documentary and library sources and note-taking methods.
Results: Studies have shown that the emerging solidarity rights, including the right to a healthy environment, right to development, right to peace, right to self-determination, right to the common heritage of mankind, and right to communication, should be upheld by different nations due to the impacts they have on the lives of people and the future generation; these rights, as stated, reveal the commitment of the countries, also.
Ethical considerations: Principles of honesty and trust are met from the beginning to the end of the article.
Conclusion: It is concluded that countries have, at the international levels, helped introduce these rights by codifying international documents and joined international treaties, and legislated and enforced the rights in the domestic arena to support them; however, some countries have considerably contributed to the development of the third generation of the human rights, while some others, including Iran, are standardizing and establishing these rights which indicate the success of these nations.
