Questions/Comments
This term is used primarily (but not exclusively) in the context of resource development. Is that sufficient justification for the RTs for land tenure and natural resources?
The UN declaration uses the exact phrase 5 times, but the article dealing most directly with resource development phrases it as “to obtain their free and informed consent prior to the approval”. Should I include a 670 for that article (either to demonstrate alternative usage or to show the context of the principle of FPIC)?
Is it appropriate to make UNDRIP a broader term or should it be a related term? FPIC is pretty central to UNDRIP but it’s frequently discussed outside of that context as well.
