Hey! So those two terms relate to two different 'classes' of human rights:

- Individual Rights refers to the rights enshrined in the UDHR, ICCPR and ICESCR. They are the inherent rights of individuals, and they were recognised first.
- Collective Rights were recognised later, and they refer to the rights of communities, not necessarily just individual people. Some great examples are self determination, peace rights and environmental rights - Both rights for societies/communities as a whole! These are recognised in several international documents (EG - Kyoto Protocol for environmental rights).

For individual, try researching those treaties I mentioned above. For collective, research those three examples to try and build some knowledge for your presentation! Good luck
