Environmental Justice and the Rights of Unborn and Future Generations by Laura Westra

Environmental Justice and the Rights of Unborn and Future Generations by Laura Westra

The traditional concept of social justice is increasingly being challenged by the notion of a humankind. This book presents a systematic examination of how the rights of the unborn and future generations are handled in common law and under international legal instruments.

'Laura Westra's book is a welcome addition to the growing body of work on environmental jurisprudence and the link to social justice'
Elizabeth May, Executive Director, Sierra Club of Canada
