This chapter provides an introduction to the relationships that connect music sustainability to human rights and social justice. It redress the imbalance by placing a degree of emphasis on the aspect of social justice known as future justice, which is concerned with the social implications for future generations of the choices of present generations. The chapter sustains diverse musical expressions may bring gains in human rights and social justice, both now and in future, and, conversely, how gains in human rights and social justice may support music sustainability. The relationships between music sustainability, human rights, and future justice in this context are complex. For one thing, these relationships underscore certain threats, risks, and challenges faced by the Leweton community. Considering future justice and human rights concerns alongside considerations of music sustainability (and, more broadly, cultural sustainability) may hold far-reaching implications for developing new and humane ways in which to promote the causes of human rights and future justice through culture
