Guidelines for Implementing the Right of Indigeous People to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (2013)
This document consists of a series of guidelines aimed at promoting the right of
Indigenous Peoples to be consulted and to give or withhold free, prior and informed
consent.
The guidelines establish criteria and standards to guide Indigenous
Peoples in demanding their rights to be consulted and the requirement to obtain
their consent. The guidelines also seek to be of use to state decision-makers and
operators in fulfilling their obligations to respect, to guarantee and to protect the
rights of Indigenous Peoples.
