“…The recent normative literature on rights to natural resources developed -at least in part -out of the literature on territorial rights (Kolers, 2012;Moore, 2015;Nine, 2013). In fact, within the literature, it is widely accepted that resource rights and territorial rights partially overlap (Nine, 2016). As we will explain below, the idea of attachment as grounding relevant normative claims also comes from the literature on territorial rights.…”

In this paper, we discuss Armstrong’s account of attachment-based claims to natural resources, the kind of rights that follow from attachment-based claims, and the limits we should impose on such claims. We hope to clarify how and why attachment matters in the discourse on resource rights by presenting three challenges to Armstrong’s theory. First, we question the normative basis for certain attachment claims, by trying to distinguish more clearly between different kinds of attachment and other kinds of claims. Second, we highlight the need to supplement Armstrong’s account with a theory of how to weigh different attachment claims so as to establish the normative standing that different kinds of attachment claims should have. Third, we propose that sustainability must be a necessary requirement for making attachment claims to natural resources legitimate. Based on these three challenges and the solutions we propose, we argue that attachment claims are on the one hand narrower than Armstrong suggests, while on the other hand they can justify more far-reaching rights to control than Armstrong initially considers, because of the particular weight that certain attachment claims have.

Natural Resource Ownership

The category of natural resources is commonly taken to comprise anything – whether matter or energy – which is potentially useful to human beings, but which was not created by human beings. All of us require some land to stand upon, air to breathe, and water to drink, and in that sense natural resources are key to human survival. Moreover – though doing so is not always easy – individuals or communities lucky enough to command larger than average supplies of valuable resources such as oil or gold may manage to convert their good fortune into great wealth. Because the ownership of natural resources can be so consequential for people's well‐being, philosophers have argued for centuries about just how the pattern of resource ownership ought, morally speaking, to be constrained. This entry aims to provide an overview of debates about the justice or injustice of patterns of resource ownership. First, we consider ongoing debates about the circumstances in which individual agents can come to be the owners of the world's natural resources. Second, we consider the way in which arguments about natural resource ownership have come to play an important role in more recent debates about the territorial rights of states.

Territorial Rights

Recent decades have witnessed a significant revival of interest in the concept of territory. The justification of territorial rights, in particular, has generated considerable interest among legal and political philosophers. This entry looks at some of the reasons for this renewed interest and addresses key questions at the center of debates about territorial rights: What do territorial rights entail? Is it possible to justify territorial rights? Provided a justification for territorial rights can be found, does it ground claims to particular territories? In answering these questions, this entry will review different accounts of territorial rights. After outlining their key features, it will also focus on some difficulties they encounter.
