Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) denotes the good faith negotiation between a client and Affected Communities.
Free, Prior and Informed Consent is a manifestation of indigenous peoples’ right to self-determine their political, social, economic and cultural priorities. It constitutes three interrelated and cumulative rights of indigenous peoples:
- the right to be consulted
- the right to participate; and
- the right to their lands, territories and resources.
FPIC builds on and expands the process of Informed Consultation and Participation, ensures the meaningful participation of Indigenous Peoples in decision-making, and focuses on achieving agreement. FPIC does not require unanimity, does not confer veto rights to individuals or sub-groups, and does not require the client to agree to aspects not under their control.
