Analysis of the impacts of international investment agreements on the rights of indigenous peoples 2016, para. 85
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The outdated belief of States that they are in a position to guarantee security for investors while ignoring the human rights of indigenous peoples must be debunked. Investors must take responsibility for assessing the social and political risk associated with their investments. Otherwise, their expectations cannot be legitimate. Dispute resolution systems can no longer exclude those who are most affected by the disputes they purportedly resolve, otherwise their awards lack legitimacy. Full and effective participation of indigenous peoples in accordance with their right to give or withhold consent, together with ensuring equity of remedies, are key principles in moving beyond the current unbalanced and incoherent system. The Special Rapporteur encourages cooperation and creative thinking in that regard and looks forward to developing her final report, in which she will examine the interplay of investor protections and indigenous peoples' rights and consider how human rights and sustainable development approaches can help inform the future of international investment law.
