The Right to Social Security in the Documents in International Relations

Today, "the right to social security" directly relates to responsibility of governments which have been highlighted in international documents. This is a subject in International Relations that makes governments responsible for providing this right to all of its citizens. The issue of "the right to social security" is mentioned in the second generation of human rights. The authors of this article try to study exactly the responsibility of governments toward the right to social security. The main hypothesis of this paper is that "the right to social security" is mentioned in the international documents as a principle of human rights in second-generation of human rights. while the first generation is the fundamental freedoms that insist on “lacking of government intervention”, the second generation of human rights focuses on states responsibility for social security for all of its citizens without any discrimination and states are committed to the international documents. The authors conclude that governments to avoid from war, violence, social justice, reducing class conflict, poverty and human dignity, have recognized the right to social security as a human right in international documents, and states are responsible for social security for all citizens.
