Free, prior and informed consent

The principle that a people must agree, freely and with full information, before a project affecting them or their land begins.

Also called: FPIC

Each word matters. 'Free' means no pressure or bribery. 'Prior' means before decisions are made. 'Informed' means the community has full, honest information in a language it understands. 'Consent' means the community can say yes, no, or yes with conditions, through its own way of deciding.
