Abstract
The Counterfactual Account of compensation posits that descendants of victims are owed compensation as they are left worse off as a result of the acts of injustice perpetuated upon their ancestors (Nozick, 1974). There is a wide range of objections to the Counterfactual Account; I recognize that these are all issues but I will focus predominantly on showing why the Non-Identity Problem is not a valid objection to the account.
