Abstract :
This paper examines the ways the two fundamental problems regarding the rights of future persons/generations (the non-existence problem and the non-identity problem) are usually tackled in scholarship It is argued that while rights cannot be properly attributed to future people, rights in respect to future generations can be based on present persons’ identity.
