O direito a Consentimento Livre, Prévio e Informado manifesta claramente que os governos não devem forçar as pessoas a mudar de ideias, valores, ou as formas tradicionais de tomar decisões e de organizar-se. Também, eles não devem espalhar informação imprecisa para informar erroneamente os Povos Indígenas. 

Para assegurar que o direito a Consentimento Livre, Prévio, e Informado é respeitado, as comunidades Indígenas deveriam ter reuniões comunitárias que informam as pessoas sobre que está passando e que poderia passar. Além disso, projetos devem ser supervisionados para garantir que as decisões das reuniões comunitárias são implementadas.

Para aplicar o direito a Consentimento Livre, Prévio e Informado corretamente, é importante saber que é aplicável a todos os Povos Indígenas. Os governos e as empresas têm que respeitar as formas de comunicação das populações Indígenas, e os representantes do governo, das empresas, e das comunidades devem juntar-se para negociar e chegar a um acordo que beneficia à comunidade.

Para uma população ter um acesso justo ao direito a Consentimento Livre, Prévio e Informado, o seguinte deve ser respeitado: 1) As populações indígenas devem ser consultadas antes de já iniciando o projeto. 2) Tempo suficiente deve ser dado a toda comunidade para receber toda informação necessaria relacionado com o projeto e seus implicações. 3) A informação deve ser distribuido de acordo com os costumes tradicionais destas populações. 4) As populações devem chegar a suas próprias opiniões sem nenhuma forma de manipulação. 5) Todas as decisões deverem ser documentadas em detalhe.

The experience of being Indigenous and transgender brings about a variety of unique intersectional challenges. Growing up in Tana (Deanu), Sápmi land, Levi Sørum (Sámi) lived most of his life rooted in Sámi culture and language. He says he feels fortunate to have attended Sámi kindergarten and one year of Sámi elementary school, in light of Norway’s history of attempting to erase Sámi culture. Besides being Sámi, Sørum is a transgender man – although he considers the term transgender more of a physical description than an identity.
