customs, traditions, systems and world views of the individuals and groups most
likely to be affected;
(b) Fully respect and integrate the participation rights and the right of
affected people and communities to free, prior and informed consent;
(c)
Are self-determined and community led;
(d) Are preceded by human rights impact assessments to avoid any
negative impacts on human rights, including impact assessments on cultural
rights; any impact assessment failing to address living heritage or the cultural
significance of affected natural resources, or conducted without the free, prior
and informed consent, consultation and active participation of the persons and
communities affected directly or indirectly, should be rejected as insufficient and
incomplete;
(e) Recognize that indigenous peoples must give their free, prior and
informed consent before any project that affects them is implemented.
99. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that States, international
organizations and other stakeholders:
(a) Establish better protections for the vulnerable workers in the informal
creative industries or artisan economy, which supports sustainable livelihood
models;
(b) Ensure that local communities are consulted and lead programmes on
sustainable development that is consistent with their values and priorities;
(c) Support the cultural sector’s contributions to sustainable
development, not restricting them to only certain types of outputs – those that
can be marketed and measured – but rather recognizing their potential impact
on all goals and policies.
100. The Special Rapporteur lends her full support to the Culture 2030 Goal
campaign envisioning the recognition of culture as the fourth pillar of
sustainable development, including a stronger place for culture throughout the
implementation of the 2030 Agenda; the adoption of a stand-alone goal on culture
in the post-2030 development agenda and the adoption of a global agenda for
culture.
101. She further calls for the establishment and use of appropriate indicators
and the consideration of an inter-agency platform measuring the contribution of
culture to the achievement of every target of the Sustainable Development Goals,
based on the UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators framework and the OHCHR
human rights indicators, as well as the availability, accessibility, acceptability,
adaptability and appropriateness conditions for the implementation of economic,
social and cultural rights.
