Os estados devem obter Consentimento Livre, Prévio, e Informado antes de aprovar qualquer projeto de desenvolvimento que afetaria as terras e os recursos dos Povos Indígenas.

A Declaração das Nações Unidas sobre os Direitos dos Povos Indígenas, junto com outros instrumentos internacionais, reconhece o direito a Consetimento Livre, Prévio e Informado como um direito dos Povos Indígenas.

Para os Povos Indígenas, o direito a Consentimento Livre, Prévio e Informado é um direito fundamental, inerente e inalienável. 

Os governos são obrigados a cumprir com o direito a Consentimento Livre, Prévio e Informado que têm todos os Povos Indígenas. Os governos precisam informar e ouvir as opiniões dos Povos Indígenas sobre si eles dão o consentimento deles aos projetos que lhes afetam.

 É importante que as comunidades Indígenas tenham suficiente tempo antes do começo dum projeto para ter discussões e tomar decisões sobre as mudanças potencias. 

É importante ter toda a informação sobre os impactos potenciais no meio ambiente, na comunidade, e nas pessoas. A informação deve ser disponível em uma maneira compreensível e na língua natural das pessoas afectadas. 

O direito a Consentimento Livre, Prévio, e Informado é estipulado nas leis nacionais e internacionais, e deve ser aplicado quando qualquer tipo de projeto está planejado nas terras das comunidades Indígenas, especialmente quando há risco de dano irreparável nestas terras.

É importante exigir que os governos e as empresas cumprem com esta lei porque protege o meio ambiente, garantia água e ar limpo, e é um mecanismo de controlar os projetos de desenvolvimento para assegurar um benefício verdadeiro para as comunidades Indígenas.

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.
