However, the bill of law is in violation of the state obligation to consult the indigenous peoples concerned, through institutions representing them, to gain their approval\u201d, it says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to concern over the violation of the rights of the indigenous people, the group also drew attention to a number of points regarding the consequences of the bill\u00b4s approval, such as the worldwide impact on the environment, health, access to drinking water and sewage systems and to the right to adequate housing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read here the full&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DownLoadPublicCommunicationFile.pdf\"
