Paragraph
Paragraph text
Beyond identifying the normative framework for understanding the right of participation in its various dimensions, it is important to develop workable strategies for implementation of the right. To that end it is useful to take stock of the problems indigenous peoples are facing in exercising the right to participation in its various dimensions, as well as to identify good practices and lessons learned. The Special Rapporteur offers here a few examples of these, which he has encountered in his work. More detailed relevant observations and specific recommendations are included in various of his reports concerning country situations and cases of alleged human rights violations.
