De Belgische ontwikkelingssamenwerking en fragiele staten: een kloof tussen beleid en praktijk?
- Ken Matthysen, Thijs van Laer | 8 mei 2014
Zo goed als de helft van de Belgische middelen voor ontwikkelingshulp gaat naar partnerlanden waar de overheid niet de capaciteit, wil en/of legitimiteit heeft om de publieke zaken efficiënt te beheren, voor veiligheid te zorgen en om de bevolking uit de armoede te halen. Omdat traditionele hulprecepten in deze ‘fragiele staten’ op hun limieten stuiten, is er de laatste decennia een internationaal

IPIS Insights: The EU draft law on conflict minerals due diligence: a critical assessment from a business & human rights standpoint
- Anna Bulzomi | 4 april 2014
On the 5th of March 2014, the European Commission proposed a responsible trading strategy for minerals from conflict zones. The proposal took place within a specific and timely context. As IPIS has long documented, the exploitation of natural resources can have adverse human rights impacts. Businesses operating in conflict-affected or fragile regions should therefore ascertain whether their direct

Initiatives en matière de ‘minerais de conflit’ en RD Congo: perceptions des communautés minières locales
- Andrés Zaragoza Montejano, Ken Matthysen | 16 december 2013
L’exploitation minière est une importante source de revenus pour de nombreuses communautés dans l’est de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC). Cette même richesse minière joue cependant aussi un rôle majeur dans la persistance de l’insécurité dans certaines parties du pays. Les revenus générés par le commerce des minerais fournissent des moyens d’opération aux groupes armés ainsi qu’un financ
