Legal developments Right to consultation Right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent Right to Participation Right to Self-determined development?

Consultation When should consultation take place? When considering legislative or administrative measures Prior to exploration or exploitation of sub-surface resources Prior to relocation, which should take place only with the free and informed consent

Consultation These consultations must be in good faith, through culturally appropriate procedures and with the objective of reaching an agreement. Furthermore, the [community] must be consulted, in accordance with their own traditions, at the early stages of a development or investment plan, not only when the need arises to obtain approval from the community, if such is the case. (Saramaka)

Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) Free imply no coercion, intimidation or manipulation; Prior imply that consent has been sought sufficiently in advance of any authorization or commencement of activities; Informed: information should be provided regarding nature, size, scope, duration of project; Consent: meaningful consultation and veto right if on indigenous lands

A Right to Participation In the management and conservation of natural resources In the benefits of exploitation of sub-surface resources on MIPs lands

Natural Resources-Art. 15-ILO The rights of the peoples concerned to the natural resources pertaining to their lands shall be specially safeguarded. These rights include the right of these peoples to participate in the use, management and conservation of these resources. In cases in which the State retains the ownership of mineral or sub-surface resources or rights to other resources pertaining to lands, governments shall establish or maintain procedures through which they shall consult these peoples, with a view to ascertaining whether and to what degree their interests would be prejudiced, before undertaking or permitting any programmes for the exploration or exploitation of such resources pertaining to their lands. The peoples concerned shall wherever possible participate in the benefits of such activities, and shall receive fair compensation for any damages which they may sustain as a result of such activities.
