Abstract: Human rights, as a foundational and fundamental right, possess a high degree of abstraction, presenting challenges for human rights research. By analyzing human rights through the principle of relativity of rights and exploring the generational classification criteria for the evolution of human rights within the framework of the "three generations of human rights" theory, this study conducts an objective and comprehensive investigation into the realization of digital human rights within their historical and social context. Digital human rights encompass emerging sub-rights such as the right to personal information, the right to digital freedom, the right to digital justice, the right to digital property, and the right to digital dignity. The fundamental purpose of the intergenerational evolution of human rights ideology is to safeguard human freedom and development. Digital human rights represent the latest stage in the evolution of human rights and serve as the theoretical foundation for human rights development in the digital age.
