The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the context of natural resource exploitation projects 2015, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- An environment that allows for the robust exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association is essential in ensuring that natural resource exploitation is fair, transparent and accountable and benefits citizens. These rights encourage access to information, public participation and free, prior and informed consent and also highlight the gaps in the enjoyment of other rights related to land tenure, the environment and self-determination. The Special Rapporteur believes that the more consultation on any particular exploitation issue, the better. He also wishes to highlight that the benefits of such consultation - and the improved planning that results from extensive consultation - can be immense for society at large. One example is the Government Pension Fund Global of Norway, which was set up in 1990 to hold surplus wealth produced by Norwegian petroleum income. It is now the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world.
