dc.description.abstract Discusses how to ascertain the meaning and implications of Right to Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC). Discusses the difference between meaningful participation of FPIC and the relationship between ‘national interest’ and the right to FPIC. Also analyses the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples, including mainly the right to FPIC in Ethiopia. Introduces recommendations concerning the middle ground between ‘national interest’ and the right to FPIC. Discusses how the right to FPIC can be legally recognised in Ethiopia and Africa in general, including particularly by the African Commission, and outlines specific recommendations on the relevant policies of the World Bank and African Development Bank. en_US
