i think your getting a little confused. like there are no contemporary human rights... but there are contemporary human right struggles.. u know wot i mean? like civil and political rights arent new.. they were introduced in 1967 i think, but there are some places in the world where people arent receiving these rights and so it is a 'struggle'.
