and cultural conditions which arc likely to have a negative impact on human life do not change or are at least improved. 207. The importance of the right to a satisfactory and comprehensive environment for development is recognised in many international instruments.

And the/ must lo so in ways that do not conflict with other liunmn development goals and strategies, such as Immure rights, building 11 conipetenf Sfnfe, and ensuring erpml opportunifiesfor citizens". 208. Furthermore, Article 10 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples states: "Indigenous peoples shall not be forcibly removed from their lands or territories. No relocation shall take place ivitfzout the free, prior and informed consent of the indigenous peoples (O7l(l'Vllt'(l and agreement 017 fair and equitable compensation and, where possible, the option of return". The same applies to ILO Convention 169. Its Article 2 (1) (2) (b) states: "l. Governments, wiffi the participation of the peoples concerned, shall develop coordinated and systematic action to protect the rights of these peoples arid to ensure respect for their integrity. "This action shall include measures to (b) promote thejiill realization of the social, economic and cultural rights of these peoples, with due respect for their social and cultural identity, customs and traditions and institutions"89 209.
