Paragraph
Paragraph text
In his reports, the Special Rapporteur has provided numerous observations and recommendations regarding specific examples of problems related to the implementation of this second aspect of the external dimension of participation. In many cases, the Special Rapporteur has observed a lack of adequate participation of indigenous peoples in the design, delivery and monitoring of programmes, policies and projects that affect them, at all levels. Moreover, it is evident that throughout the world, indigenous peoples are not adequately consulted, nor is their consent obtained, when decisions affecting their rights or interests are made.
