Marcel Szabó, “4 – Intergenerational Justice under International Treaty Law: The Obligations of the State to Future Generations and the Example of the Hungarian Ombudsman for Future Generations”, in Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger, Marcel Szabó & Alexandra R. Harrington, eds, Intergenerational Justice in Sustainable Development Treaty Implementation, (Cambridge UP, 2021).
Like the concept of sustainable development, the principle of intergenerational equity has long been part of modern international legal literature and has found its way into State practice. This element of international law, however, might not have gained as much attention as it rightfully deserves. This chapter – and indeed the entirety of the present volume – seeks to redress this deficit.
