The right to participation of people living in poverty 2013, para. 32
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention of the International Labour Organization (1989) (ILO Convention No. 169) is focused on participation of indigenous people in decision-making, and is the only international convention to assign governments the duty of face-to-face consultation with communities. It states that consultation with indigenous peoples should be undertaken through appropriate procedures, in good faith and through the representative institutions of these peoples; the peoples involved should have the opportunity to participate freely at all levels in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of measures and programmes that affect them directly. ILO Convention No. 169 also specifies individual circumstances in which consultation with indigenous and tribal peoples is an obligation. In particular, relocation/displacement of the community should take place only with their "free and informed consent".
