Resumen
LOPEZ-QUIROZ, ALEXANDER. FUTURE GENERATIONS AND LEGAL PERSONALITY. Díkaion [online]. 2014, vol.23, n.2, pp.251-275. ISSN 0120-8942. https://doi.org/10.5294/DIKA.2014.23.2.3.
According to Article 3 of Law 99/1993, future generations (FG) in Colombia are treated as persons with rights and obligations. This is because Colombian law and most international environmental treaties ratified by the country indicate future generations are entitled to inherit from the present generation "natural resources and an environment in conditions that allow them to satisfy the basic necessities of life". Viewed from this perspective, the issue is whether future generations are recognized in Colombian law as persons with rights and obligations? Do they have a legal personality? This paper attempts to answer those questions based on a review of the concepts of person and legal personality found in the framework of the Colombian Civil Code.
