Abstract

The current evolution of the human lifestyle in the present era has had a significant impact on human needs and rights. The emergence of new phenomena such as means of mass communication and various strategies to improve the economic situation has overshadowed human rights and made some of them dependent on electricity. Exercising the right to education during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the spread of virtual education; Access to television and the Internet to find out about the current news and industrial activities is among the examples where electricity is effective. According to the approach of international organizations and governments about development, electricity has become more important than in the past, because the implementation of the right to development as an example of the third generation of human rights has a significant dependence on energy (electricity). Therefore, any challenge in energy security is considered an obstacle to the development plans of governments and international organizations.

Although electricity is essential for human rights implementation, it is crucial to pay attention to it with an approach that adheres to environmental standards. Thus, the authors with a descriptive and analytical approach, while investigating the impact of electricity in exercising rights related to the three generations of human rights and the feasibility of considering the right to access electricity, also analyze it in the form of international environmental law. Adopting this approach is necessary due to the unavoidable ecological effects associated with electricity production to achieve desired development patterns. Hence, this research suggests to the policymakers that in addition to making appropriate policies in the field of energy to provide the desired electricity for different parts of the society regarding environmental regulations and standards in every phase of power generation projects.
