Paragraph text
Participation in decision-making is a foundational right that at its core provides the basis for the enjoyment of the full range of human rights. Furthermore, a number of basic human rights principles underpin the right to participation and inform its content, including, among others, principles of self-determination, equality, cultural integrity and property. In understanding the right to participation in the context of indigenous peoples, it is useful to distinguish between the external and internal dimensions of the right.
