More broadly, FPIC is emerging as a best practice for safeguarding the human rights of all communities affected by extractive industry projects. These include, for example, the right to food, development, property, culture, and a healthy environment. One multilateral treaty that has been interpreted as requiring FPIC for non-indigenous (in addition to indigenous) communities is the United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. Here FPIC applies in situations that threaten the preservation of cultural resources and with regard to community relocation when evictions or displacement occur under exceptional circumstances.
