Pitfalls and Pipelines - Philippine Indigenous Peoples Links

388 Pitfalls and Pipelines: Indigenous Peoples and Extractive Industries
sponsored processes should be communicated to Indigenous
Peoples in plain-language and culturally appropriate ways
so that they can begin to implement FPIC conditions on the
ground;
105. Invite Indigenous Peoples to submit information on best
and worst practices;
106. Request the International Council on Mining and Metals
to provide a list of ten projects that they recommend as best
practices. This list should be accompanied by an open invitation
for members of the UNPFII body to visit, have access to
project sites and files;
107. Request the Global Compact to participate in meetings
of the Permanent Forum so they can share examples of good
practices received from its members.
108. Advocate for the Extractive Industries Transparency
Initiative secretariat in Norway to coordinate an effective
strategy to ensure that environmental and social impacts on
indigenous communities are considered part of the “transparency”
protocols that are to be prepared by governments that
are certified under this initiative;
109. Permanent Forum sponsored processes have spurred
unparalleled expertise on FPIC and that expertise must be
invoked to test and challenge company claims on community
engagement. There would need to be safeguards, including
investigating comparative examples not just company best
practices and revisiting consent cases to ensure that they are
ongoing;
110. The UNPFII, the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples, the Special Rapporteur on the situation
of human rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous
people and other UN bodies and agencies should work with
Indigenous Peoples to research and document the impacts of
mining and other extractive industries;
111. Invite the Special Representative of the Secretary General
on Business and Human Rights to participate in its sessions,
in particular, the 8 th Session where the report of this Expert
Group Meeting on Extractive Industries will be presented.
Encourage him to do special studies on extractive industries
