Abstract
This chapter examines the role that human rights law can play in the governance of natural resources. Using the compass of the right to development, it explores how human rights law supports the emergence of a right to participation, to consent, and to benefit from the exploitation of natural resources. The aim is to analyse how the right to development, despite its flaws and controversies, has become an important anchor to support the right of local communities to the governance over the natural resources located on their territories. It discusses the emergence of the rights to participation and consent as well as to benefit from natural resources exploitation. It also examines the potential connection between human rights law and taxation, rent, allocation, and use of revenues emerging from natural resources exploitation.
