Abstract
Today, because of the increasing development of global energy demand, energy resources such as oil and gas are more important than before. However, achieving these significant resources requires the use of the lands and properties of the people who live around these resources. These people have special conditions, which place them in a distinct group and should be considered. Religious and traditional affiliation, subsistence and other cases make these lands important for the indigenous people. In this article, how the industry should enter the lands of indigenous people and whether these people can play a part in choosing these projects are questions that we are seeking to answer. Obtaining consent and consultation with indigenous peoples are requirements that international law has determined for the protection of indigenous peoples rights, which may lead to State responsibility.
