Paragraph text
As a general matter, decisions of the State should be made through democratic processes in which the public's interests are adequately represented. However, these normal democratic and representative processes usually do not work adequately to address the concerns that are particular to indigenous peoples, who are typically marginalized from the political sphere. The duty of States to consult with indigenous peoples and its various normative components are premised on widespread acknowledgment, as manifested in the Declaration, of indigenous peoples' distinctive characteristics and specific rights and on the need for special measures to address their disadvantaged conditions.
