Efforts on environmental protection in Indonesia are very advanced and progressive, this can be seen from the development of Indonesia democracy which based on ecological (ecocracy) which has given legal rights to the nature/environment in the form of constitutional rights and human rights from nature/environment. The recognition is a form of balancing of the provision of human rights given which guarantees on a good and healthy environment. The ecocracy implementation is embodied in the development policy in Indonesia based on the principle of sustainable development, which is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. This policy has triggered the notion that if nature and the present generation have the legal right to a good and healthy environment then future generations can also have the same legal rights. It has not been existed in Indonesian law. The effort to go there is not utopian because Indonesian civil law has recognized the rights of future generations through Article 2 of the KUHPer, as well as by the values ​​of adat law have recognized the existence of natural rights, as well as by Islamic values ​​(as the largest religion) has provided the basis that the creation of the universe is reserved for human welfare (assigned to be the caliphate), the embodiment of the future generations can be seen from the blowing of the spirits to humans by God. The law is not in a hollow space, so the development of law in Indonesia should not be uprooted from its social base in order not to lose its meaning and power in society, future generation rights is not something new for Indonesian society, therefore the development of environmental law needs to drive to make it exist for environmental protection.

This chapter conceptually links children’s human rights with environmental human rights. Environmental rights initially belong to future generations because they are uniquely vulnerable to environmental harms perpetuated by those living today, and consequently belong to living generations through “reflexive reciprocity.” Children in fact represent the first, “living” future generation. Therefore they share environmental rights with future generations. Those rights are uniquely “emergent” in nature for both children and future persons; they emerge at the group level. They are also rights that take special priority over adult human rights, based on the vulnerability of both children and future groups.

Subfertility in humans is the major problem in the technological world mostly by their habits and foods. There are many treatment methods for the subfertility of females, but the documentation in this field is mostly available in the local language, which cannot be understood by others, and time by time, this knowledge towards the future generation is diminished. The authors have depicted the knowledge using ontology and thereafter the knowledge management portal (KMP) for the indigenous knowledge was developed using the modeled ontology. They believe that the indigenous knowledge management portal (IKMP) will help future generations to get knowledge easily by using this system. They also strongly believe that the IKMP will serve as the experience-sharing tool for the subfertility-related indigenous knowledge.

Abstract Children, both boys and girls, are considered state assets because they represent the nation's future generation. Children's development and growth require special consideration and protection on the part of parents, family, society, nation, and state. Children's constitutional rights are regulated in the 1945 Constitution, which guarantees the welfare of every citizen, including protection against violations of children's rights, which are considered human rights. Every child has the right to survival, growth, and development, as well as the right to be protected from violence and discrimination, as mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia; additionally, every child has the right to survival, growth, and development, as well as the right to be protected from violence and discrimination; The issue is why the constitutional rights of children who have been neglected as a result of divorce have not been fully complied with and what legal safeguards have the government implemented to reduce the number of child neglect victims.

The purpose of this paper is to examine some beliefs about the ethical justification of negative eugenics, i.e. a policy of limiting the frequency of childbearing by women prone to give birth to children with genetic defects. The main thrust of the paper is to define and defend of a particular duty v i s – á – v i s the future generations, viz. the duty to provide the future persons with healthy genetic endowment. In the first part of the paper the concept of the ‘obligation to future generation’ is considered. In the second part the putative right of children to acquire healthy genetic endowment is critically assessed from the moral point of view. The author focuses on important reservations concerning moral rights of not even potentially existing persona and the subsequent difficulty in establishing when such rights are infringed. The last part of the paper deals with the possibility of justifying our moral obligations to the future generations by consulting our direct moral duties, and bypassing the controversial issues of the rights of non-existent persons. The author concludes: one of the most credible methods of justifying the objectives of negative eugenics is the acceptance of the depersonalized version of the utilitarian principle (also called globally conceived principle of utility) which stipulates that the sum of pain in the world be minimized and the sum of happiness be maximized. In the same vein the traditional concept of the ‘sanctity’ of human life should be revised in the light of the principle that human life presupposes consciousness and dignity. When these two assumptions are made, it can be shown that due to the application of genetic control the future generations will live a happier life and suffer from fewer diseases than they would if we decided to ban genetic control.

The article deals with some key issues concerning the evolution of the concept of the right to adequate environment. The evolution took several decades to reach the present state in which it is obvious that the right has been accepted as one of the so called third generation human rights by both doctrine and practice, in international environmental law as well as in national environmental legislation of a number of countries. In the first phase of development only some elements of the right existed within the ?classical? human rights (the right to life, the right to health etc.) of so called first and second generation. The turning point was the UN Stockholm 1972 Conference on the environment. The right was inserted in the first principle, of the Declaration accepted by the conference, and already had most of its main elements: the right to adequate living conditions in an environment with the quality that not only guarantees healthy life but a life in dignity and well-being. After the Stockholm Conference, the right was embraced by a part of the doctrine, and increasingly mentioned and discussed within the frame of the UNEP, the relevant UN specialized agencies, as well as by some other international organizations active in the field of environmental protection. The result of this acceptance was an increasing insertion of the right in international treaties as well as in various declaratory documents, on both universal and regional levels. The author devotes a part of his article to the development in Europe, and especially to the work of the Council of Europe, the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the EU. The author believes that most important development in Europe occurred within the ?Environment for Europe Process?, under the aegis of the UNECE. The result of it was signing of the Aarhus Convention (1998), one of most important international treaties signed until now. First of all, it regulates two important fields - protection of human rights and protection of environment. In it not only the right to adequate environment is explicitly mentioned in the Art. 1, but the main elements of the right are regulated in detail. The three ?pillars? of the Convention are devoted to the right to environmental information, the right of citizens to participate in environmental matters and the right to access to justice in matters concerning the environmental protection. It should be added that the Aarhus Convention has become a part of the EU legislation. Due to that, the whole process of implementation of the convention has become unavoidable for all candidate countries, as a proof of their intent to apply in practice environmental legislation and to democratise their societies.
