The right to participation of people living in poverty 2013, para. 34
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, although not legally binding, developed further the importance of free, prior and informed consent in matters of fundamental importance for the rights, survival and dignity of indigenous peoples, based on their right to self-determination. "Free" means without coercion, intimidation or manipulation; "prior" implies in advance of the activity or decision being made, with sufficient time for indigenous peoples to undertake their own decision-making processes; "informed" necessitates provision of objective, accurate and complete information relating to the activity, presented in a manner and form understandable to indigenous peoples (A/HRC/18/42, Annex, para. 25).
