Summary
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.
