Corporate responsibility with respect to indigenous rights 2010, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- As a result, the international community now holds the expectation, increasingly shared by all the stakeholders directly involved, including business itself, that companies bear certain responsibilities with respect to indigenous rights. Within the conceptual framework drawn up by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises - protect, respect and remedy - companies have, at the very least, the duty to comply with international standards relating to the human rights of indigenous peoples.

Extractive industries operating within or near indigenous territories 2011, para. 84
- Paragraph text
- In this connection, while the existing problems and challenges ahead are significant and complex, the Special Rapporteur is encouraged by what he perceives to be a growing degree of awareness and assumption of responsibility on the part of States and corporate actors. This growing awareness opens a historical opportunity for advancing towards a common normative understanding and the operationalization of indigenous peoples' rights and related institutional safeguards in the context of natural resource extraction and development projects in indigenous territories. This process would not only contribute to enhanced implementation of the standards affirmed in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and other international instruments, but also to operationalizing and realizing the "Protect, Respect and Remedy" framework.

- In view of the above, when considering the Special Rapporteur's future action, the Human Rights Council may wish to entrust him with the specific task of working towards the operationalization of the rights of indigenous peoples and related institutional guarantees in the context of natural resource extraction and development projects affecting indigenous territories, with the aim of his presenting to the Council a set of specific guidelines or principles in 2013. The Council may further consider the necessity of affording additional support to the Special Rapporteur in performing this task.

Strengthening commitment to the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and its implementation 2013, para. 88
- Paragraph text
- Debilitating to the Declaration are repeated assertions that the Declaration is non-binding, characterizations of the Declaration as granting privileges to indigenous peoples over others, and the position advanced by some States that the right to self-determination affirmed in the Declaration is different from self-determination in international law. These assertions and positions are each flawed, as explained by the Special Rapporteur (paras. 61-78); they only serve to weaken the force of the broad consensus underlying the Declaration and of its role as an instrument of human rights and restorative justice.

- In addition, within the framework of due diligence, companies must take account of the criteria, as laid down in international rules, for recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples, in particular their right to lands, territories and natural resources, including in cases where domestic law differs substantially from such criteria. Companies must therefore grant, in all respects, full recognition of the indigenous territorial rights arising from customary land tenure, independent of official State recognition.

- Paragraph text
- The second area of concern relates to development initiatives targeted specifically at reducing the disadvantages experienced by indigenous peoples and improving their social and economic well-being. These initiatives all too often fail to properly incorporate indigenous peoples in the design and delivery of the programmes in a way that advances their self-determination and their rights to maintain their distinct cultural identities, languages and connections with their traditional lands.

For the purposes of such identification, companies must apply the international criteria which define the category of indigenous peoples and provide the grounds for a series of specific rights.

The right of indigenous peoples to development with culture and identity, the right of indigenous peoples to participation and the obligation of States to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2010, para. 81
- Paragraph text
- The internal dimension of the right to participation relates to indigenous peoples' exercise of autonomy or self-government. This dimension of the right includes a corresponding duty of the State to allow indigenous peoples to make their own decisions concerning their internal matters, and to respect those decisions. States should make continued efforts to promote and consolidate legal recognition and accommodation of indigenous institutions of self-governance, in order for indigenous peoples genuinely to take control of their own affairs in all aspects of their lives and to ensure that matters affecting them are aligned with their own cultural patterns, values, customs and world-views.

- Independent of compensation measures, companies are bound by their duty to respect indigenous rights to establish mechanisms ensuring that indigenous peoples share the benefits generated by the activities in question. Benefit sharing responds in part to the concept of fair compensation for deprivation or limitation of the rights of the communities concerned, in particular their right of communal ownership of lands, territories and natural resources. Companies must ensure that benefit-sharing mechanisms genuinely fulfil that purpose, and that they are appropriate to the specific context of indigenous peoples.

In this connection, he urges flexibility and innovation to ensure indigenous participation in the meeting, in accordance with the standards of participation which the General Assembly itself affirmed when it adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In addition, the outcomes of the World Conference should reinforce, and in no way undermine or fall below, the standards of the Declaration.

Violence against indigenous women and girls; rights of indigenous peoples in relation to extractive industries 2012, para. 78
- Paragraph text
- A holistic approach to combating violence against indigenous women and girls requires that both their rights as women and children, and their rights as indigenous peoples, be advanced. More broadly, the rights enshrined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which are designed to remedy the continuing legacies of discrimination against indigenous peoples, should be advanced concurrently with programmes that are designed specifically to target violence against women and girls, to tackle the structural problems affecting indigenous peoples that contribute to violence against women and girls. Lastly, indigenous self-determination in particular must be enhanced, along with efforts that are designed to prevent and punish violence against indigenous women and girls.

Violence against indigenous women and girls; rights of indigenous peoples in relation to extractive industries 2012, para. 85
- Paragraph text
- Where the rights implicated are essential to the survival of indigenous groups and foreseen impacts on the rights are significant, indigenous consent to those impacts is required, beyond simply being an objective of consultations. It is generally understood that indigenous peoples' rights over lands and resources in accordance with customary tenure are necessary to their survival. Accordingly, indigenous consent is presumptively a requirement for those aspects of any extractive project taking place within the officially recognized or customary land use areas of indigenous peoples, or that otherwise affect resources that are important to their survival.

- A focus on the rights implicated in the context of a specific extractive or development project is an indispensible starting point for devising appropriate consultation and consent procedures, in the exercise of the State duty to protect and corporate responsibility to respect human rights. The particular indigenous peoples or communities that are to be consulted are those that hold the potentially affected rights, the consultation procedures are to be devised to identify and address the potential impacts on the rights, and consent is to be sought for those impacts under terms that are protective and respectful of the rights.

Furthermore, in their budgeting, agencies should ensure that appropriate funding is set aside for activities which promote implementation of the Declaration, as well as ensuring that budgeted activities do not conflict with its provisions.

Enhancing indigenous self-determination is a matter of basic human dignity as well as being conducive to successful practical outcomes.

The right of indigenous peoples to development with culture and identity, the right of indigenous peoples to participation and the obligation of States to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2010, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- Participation in decision-making is a foundational right that at its core provides the basis for the enjoyment of the full range of human rights. Furthermore, a number of basic human rights principles underpin the right to participation and inform its content, including, among others, principles of self-determination, equality, cultural integrity and property. In understanding the right to participation in the context of indigenous peoples, it is useful to distinguish between the external and internal dimensions of the right.

The activities of various agencies, funds, programmes and human rights bodies and mechanisms, in addition to the mechanisms with mandates specific to indigenous peoples (the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples), touch upon indigenous issues.

- A coordinated effort should be made to develop the capacities and skills of indigenous peoples to ensure that they are able to participate effectively in international processes which affect their rights and to engage effectively in consultations with United Nations institutions in the elaboration, implementation and evaluation of programmes affecting them. Some initiatives have been taken in this regard, but it is apparent to the Special Rapporteur that more capacity-building opportunities for indigenous peoples are required. Initiatives for such capacity-building could be advanced by the Inter-Agency Support Group on Indigenous Issues.

Without broad understanding about the reasons for the Declaration and the path forward that it marks, that path will be difficult, if not impossible to implement.

Businesses must carry out due diligence to ensure that their activities do not infringe or contribute to the infringement of the rights of indigenous peoples that are internationally recognized, regardless of the reach of domestic laws.

- Without prejudice to the principle that States bear the main responsibility to consult, companies must respect the strengthened right of indigenous peoples to participate in decisions affecting them by ensuring adequate mechanisms for consultation and dialogue with them. Here, the purpose of consultations with indigenous peoples should be to seek consensus on key aspects such as identification of the potential negative impact of the activities, measures to mitigate and compensate for such impact, and mechanisms for sharing the benefits derived from the activities. Once again, if companies wish to exercise due diligence, they must ensure that the consultations they hold are based on the criteria laid down in international rules, especially when the States in which they operate provide inadequate legal regulations, or none at all.

Companies must not attempt to replace Governments in situations where international standards require Governments to bear direct responsibility for holding consultations; indeed, they must promote the full assumption by Governments of such responsibility.

From a human rights standpoint, such studies, conducted by independent technical experts under State supervision, must consider all possible negative impacts on the rights, of whatever kind, of the indigenous communities concerned. Impact studies must also identify possible ways of mitigating those impacts. In the event that such solutions do not exist or are not technically feasible, companies must compensate for all types of damage sustained by the indigenous peoples concerned.

Extractive industries operating within or near indigenous territories 2011, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- The many responses received from Governments, indigenous peoples and organizations, business corporations and other actors to the questionnaire distributed by the Special Rapporteur in 2011 point to a state of shared awareness and concern about the past negative effects of extractive operations for indigenous peoples in many situations, in the light of the particular attachment of indigenous peoples to their traditional lands, territories and natural resources. However, the responses to the questionnaire also provide a strong indication of the existence of conflicting points of view concerning the potential adverse impact and benefits of extractive or development projects in indigenous territories; the practical implications in this context of international standards affirming the rights of indigenous peoples, and the kind of measures required to fulfil the responsibilities of States, corporate actors and indigenous peoples themselves.

This effort could be pursued through the development of specific guidelines or principles aimed at helping States, corporate actors and indigenous peoples in fulfilling the responsibilities that arise from international indigenous rights standards. In the Special Rapporteur's view, this task is entirely within and will significantly contribute to the fulfilment of his mandate to examine ways and means of overcoming existing obstacles to the full and effective protection of the rights of indigenous peoples and to identify, exchange and promote best practices.
