This chapter addresses basic aspects of intergenerational equity: Which differences exist between its historical roots and its scholarly conceptualisation? What is the relationship of intergenerational equity within the contextual framework of international environmental law in general? These aspects are addressed in the form of a lex lata analysis by giving a historical overview of intergenerational equity in international law and illustrating its scholarly conceptualisation. In light of the systemic role of intergenerational equity within international environmental law, particularly its relationship with sustainable development, a first important finding of the thesis is the differentiation between two manifestations of intergenerational equity: a general conception and a more specific doctrine of intergenerational equity, as established, inter alia, by Edith Brown Weiss in her works. The following chapters of the book basically build upon this differentiation.

摘要

This chapter addresses basic aspects of intergenerational equity: Which differences exist between its historical roots and its scholarly conceptualisation? What is the relationship of intergenerational equity within the contextual framework of international environmental law in general? These aspects are addressed in the form of a lex lata analysis by giving a historical overview of intergenerational equity in international law and illustrating its scholarly conceptualisation. In light of the systemic role of intergenerational equity within international environmental law, particularly its relationship with sustainable development, a first important finding of the thesis is the differentiation between two manifestations of intergenerational equity: a general conception and a more specific doctrine of intergenerational equity, as established, inter alia, by Edith Brown Weiss in her works. The following chapters of the book basically build upon this differentiation.
