Des plaintes au changement [2] : L’avenir du mécanisme de plaintes du FSC et ses implications pour les Peuples Autochtones
Cette session a pour but de faire comprendre aux membres de FSC les changements fondamentaux introduits dans le projet de procédure de plainte et d'appel de FSC, avec un accent particulier sur les implications pour les peuples autochtones. Co-organisée par FSC International (SIU) et la Fondation des peuples autochtones de FSC, la session explorera les obstacles actuels rencontrés par les communautés autochtones dans l'accès aux systèmes de résolution des litiges de FSC et évaluera comment la nouvelle procédure améliore l'accessibilité, l'inclusion et la conformité avec les principes directeurs des Nations Unies relatifs aux entreprises et aux droits de l'homme.
Grâce à une présentation du projet révisé, à des études de cas concrets et aux expériences vécues par les représentants des peuples autochtones, les participants s'engageront dans une discussion interactive sur les progrès accomplis et les lacunes qui subsistent. L'objectif est de s'assurer que les droits, les voix et le leadership des peuples autochtones soient reflétés de manière significative dans les systèmes de réclamation de FSC à l'avenir.
