It seems that one of the international capacities that can be effective in this field is international instruments and conventions. Many of these instruments, which the government of Iran has joined, besides discussing the rights of the present generation, have expressed the principles, rules and regulations regarding the protection and protection of the right of future generations to enjoy natural resources.
