Abstract

Some decisions and actions of the present generation, such as the irregular use of natural resources, as well as the widespread pollution and destruction of the environment, have led to the emergence of sometimes adverse and dangerous effects and consequences that not only has it affected the current generation, but the consequences of which will be passed on to future generations. In such a way that it can be clearly predicted that the life of the future people will face an important challenge. While this is a warning to the current generation, it has redoubled the need to pay attention to and protect the rights of future generations. In addition, questions have been raised in this regard; including on what basis the recognition of rights for future generations can be justified. In order to answer this question, it seems that among the principles that can be proposed for the rights of future generations, we can mention "justice" and use it to prove the rights of future generations from a jurisprudential and legal point of view. To evaluate this hypothesis, in addition to the main concepts, formative and legislative justice as well as intergenerational justice, as the basis of the rights of future generations, will be analyzed and examined from a jurisprudential and legal perspective.
