NEWS IN BRIEF<\/h1>\n
A report released by the UN Joint Human Rights Office (UNJHRO<\/a>) in the DRC this week details human rights abuses committed by the M23 in North Kivu during its occupation between April 2012 and November 2013. The UNJHRO highlights that these atrocities constitute crimes under both international and Congolese law, calling upon the authorities to bring perpetrators to justice. The report preceded a second publication outlining human rights violations committed by state security forces during operation \u201cLikofi\u201d in Kinshasa, aimed at curbing urban delinquency.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Martin Kobler has called for the demobilisation of the FRPI this week as abuses by the group in Bunia (Province Orientale<\/a>) provoked protests and three mass graves were discovered containing the bodies of what are said to be the victims of FRPI atrocities in 2012. The Special Representative for the Secretary General has also called for a joint FARDC, Africom and MONUSCO mission to combat the Lord\u2019s Resistance Army in Dungu territory, as well as joint efforts to preserve the biodiversity of Garamba Park, after a visit to the reserve. MONUSCO has donated three helicopters to the park for deployment in the event of urgent intervention. The security situation in Ituri is said to have deteriorated since the death of Morgan \u2013 his former fighters, now led by Manu, abducting 40 women at the end of last week. In North Kivu,\u00a0ADF attacks<\/a>\u00a0continued in Beni territory last week, with attacks in Oicha and Erengeti causing thousands to flee. Meanwhile, in\u00a0Katanga<\/a>, 3,000 people are reported to have fled Mai-Mai Bakata Katanga incursions following clashes with the FARDC, killing seven soldiers, in Kyona Nzini, Pweto territory.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the Central African Republic, Bangui has seen a week of\u00a0inter-communal violence<\/a>, said by the Red Cross to be the worst outbreak in the capital since July\u2019s ceasefire.The violence appears to have begun near the Presidential residence, followed by an ambush on a MINUSCA convoy killing one peace keeper and injuring nine others on Thursday, with a second anti-balaka attack targeting a Burundian UN peace keeping contingent on Friday. Catherine Samba-Panza has denounced the violence as an\u00a0attempt to destabilise the government<\/a>, holding talks with the Seleka \u00a0and the anti-balaka, which saw a tense calm restored at the weekend. However, this Wednesday saw another attack on UN troops and violence reignite in certain neighbourhoods of the city. The disorder forms the backdrop to questions raised as part of a parliamentary hearing demanding accountability for $2.5 million given to the transitional authorities by Angola but that does not appear to have passed through the central treasury.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As fallout from the\u00a0BBC documentary<\/a>\u00a0on the Rwandan genocide continues amid calls for an apology from the broadcaster, in Burundi, public prosecutors claim that an investigation into the bodies found in\u00a0Lake Rweru<\/a>\u00a0has indicated that the victims were Rwandan.<\/div>\n

Supply Chains and Transport Corridors in East Africa<\/a>\u00a0\u2758 June 2014 \u2758 IPIS and TransArms-Research
\nTransport infrastructure plays a key role in boosting a country or region\u2019s economic development. IPIS and TransArms have ascertained on several occasions that the underdevelopment or degeneration of transport infrastructure is a problematic issue across a number of African countries and regions. This report analyses the current logistics situation in Eastern Africa, and the logistic challenges faced by various actors in that region. It is based on desktop research, and interviews and data collected by the authors during several field missions to East and Central Africa. At the time of writing, however, logistic and other challenges to cost-efficient trade and overall economic development are yet to be addressed. Further research and policy actions to effectively tackle current shortcomings are much needed. A strategy relying on a piecemeal approach (e.g. on ad hoc investments in infrastructure) is likely to result in a \u2018quick fix\u2019 to ship raw materials out of the African continent rather than in an effort to boost sustainable economic development.<\/p>\n

De Belgische ontwikkelingssamenwerking en fragiele staten: een kloof tussen beleid en praktijk?<\/a>\u00a0\u2758\u00a0<\/strong>May 2014\u00a0\u2758<\/strong>\u00a011.11.11 i.s.m. IPIS
\nZo 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 effici\u00ebnt te beheren, voor veiligheid te zorgen en om de bevolking uit de armoede te halen. Omdat traditionele hulprecepten in deze \u2018fragiele staten\u2019 op hun limieten stuiten, is er de laatste decennia een internationaal beleid ontwikkeld dat een blauwdruk voorstelt voor een gedifferentieerde aanpak om deze landen te ondersteunen in het traject richting meer weerbaarheid. De Belgische ontwikkelingssamenwerking onderschrijft de internationale engagementen over fragiele staten die hieruit ontstonden, zoals de fragiele staten principes (FSP\u2019s) en de New Deal. In 2013 werd er een Belgische strategienota voor fragiele situaties goedgekeurd. Positief is dat Belgi\u00eb zich, ondanks de moeilijke context, rond dit thema blijft engageren \u2013 zowel op internationaal beleidsniveau als binnen haar eigen ontwikkelingsbeleid.<\/p>\n

IPIS Insights: The EU draft law on conflict minerals due diligence: a critical assessment from a business & human rights standpoint<\/a>\u00a0\u2758<\/strong>\u00a030 April 2014\u00a0\u2758\u00a0<\/strong>IPIS
\nOn 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 operations or their business relationships with other parties, including through their supply chains, have fueled or funded conflict and\/or human rights abuse.<\/p>\n

Business & Human Rights in Uganda: What’s on the Agenda?<\/a>\u00a0| 12 March 2014 | IPIS

ICC and UNSC: point scoring and the cemetery of good intentions<\/a>\u00a0| Institute for Security Studies | 10 October 2014
\nAs conflict proliferates and intensifies globally, international crimes are often committed in territories beyond the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This has led to an increase in calls for referrals from the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The ICC only has jurisdiction in situations that occur in the territory of countries that are party to the court\u2019s statute or, in the case of non-state parties, through a UNSC referral. Syria, for example, is not party to the ICC\u2019s Rome Statute: therefore the only possible route to ICC jurisdiction is through such a referral.<\/p>\n

Practice What You Preach: Theory and Practice of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC)\u2019s Stakeholder Engagement Plan in Chad<\/a>\u00a0| 9 January 2014 | IPIS
\nThe past decade has seen a staggering increase in Chinese investment flows in Africa, leaping from USD 392 million in 2005 to USD 2520 million in 2012. Chinese Government officials often describe the burgeoning Sino-African ties as \u2018win-win partnerships\u2019, emphasizing how their \u2018non-interference\u2019 policy truly allows African countries to choose their own development path.
\nAgainst this background, doubts may arise with regard to the environmental and social standards applied by Chinese companies conducting business overseas, especially in post-conflict states with poor human rights records and inadequate governance structures.\u00a0The case discussed in this paper concerns the operations of the Chadian branch of the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC).<\/p>\n

In search of clean water: human rights and the mining industry in Katanga, DRC<\/a>\u00a0| 27 November 2013 | IPIS
\nToday, around 1,8 billion people in the world do not have access to safe water. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the most water-rich country in Africa, 51 million people lack access to potable water; only 26% of the population has access to safe drinking water. This is one of the lowest access rates in the world.
\nIn the Katanga province, rich in cobalt and copper, some industrial mining companies operate provoking significant pollution of water sources, seriously affecting the local population. Although there is a lack of comprehensive data available, several studies conducted by local civil society show environmental, health and socio-economic negative effects.<\/p>\n

To find a structural solution, IPIS sat down with the Congolese mining cadastre (CAMI) and agreed to set up a permanent system to monitor artisanal mining activities and the involvement of armed groups in the mineral exploitation and trade.\u00a0A first version of the resulting map has been published at\u00a0https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/mapping\/webmapping<\/a>. It shows the location of nearly 800 mining sites and 85 trading centres, including information about armed groups presence and involvement, and the scale of the mining activity. The map includes at least 410 cases of illegal taxation by armed groups or the Congolese army.<\/p>\n

‘Conflict Minerals’ initiatives in DR Congo: Perceptions of local mining communities<\/a>\u00a0| 12 November 2013 | IPIS
\nThe exploitation of minerals is an important source of income for many communities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Yet this mineral wealth also plays a significant role in the continuation of insecurity in parts of the country.
\nOver recent years, several domestic, regional and international initiatives have been developed to address the so-called \u2018conflict minerals\u2019 problem and the high level of informality in the DRC\u2019s artisanal mining sector. These initiatives have provoked varying reactions regarding their impact on local livelihoods.
\nThis report aims to provide insight into the impact of initiatives on the livelihood strategies of local communities in the DRC, based on field research in a wide range of mining areas; and document the perceptions of local stakeholders of these initiatives and their impacts.<\/p>\n

IPIS Insights:<\/em>\u00a0Why businesses should assess human rights impacts from the outset of projects. SOCO International Oil Company in Virunga National Park, DRC<\/a>\u00a0| 26 August 2013 | International Peace Information Service (IPIS)
\nSOCO International, a British oil company, is prospecting for oil in the Democratic Republic of Congo\u2019s Virunga National Park \u2013 a World Heritage Site. For the past year, their presence has been criticised for putting a fragile environment at risk. However, more recently, their impact on human rights has also been questioned. In this Insights IPIS looks at why it is so vital for companies to employ rights-respectful processes, such as those advised in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, from the very beginning of the prospection stage.<\/p>\n

Strijd tegen conflictmineralen: sleutel tot conflictresolutie in Oost-Congo?<\/a>\u00a0| 25 July\u00a0 2013 | IPIS\u00a0(Internationale Spectator)

Business, Human Rights, and Uganda’s Oil. Part I: Uganda’s oil sector and potential threats to human rights<\/a>\u00a0| 25 July 2013 | International Peace Information Service (IPIS) \u2013 ActionAid International Uganda
\nThe following report is the first of a series of four collaborations between IPIS Research and ActionAid International Uganda. The series sheds a light on the oil sector in Uganda, its possible impact on human rights, and how government, companies, and civil society can best enable a positive bond between oil and the welfare of the Ugandan people.<\/p>\n

The formalisation of artisanal mining in the DRC and Rwanda<\/a>\u00a0| December 2012 [April 2013]\u00a0| IPIS
\nThis report describes and evaluates initiatives to formalise the artisanal mining sector in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda, in order to locate lessons learned. We hope that these perspectives will support the formation of well-informed policy and regulatory options \u2013 both by the EU and by harvesting countries \u2013 concerning the formalisation of timber production in tropical countries.
\nThe report was commissioned by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), which is dedicated to advancing human well-being, environmental conservation and equity through providing information that leads to better informed and equitable decision making about the use and management of forests in tropical countries.<\/p>\n

Gold and diamonds in the Central African Republic. The country’s mining sector, and related social, economic and environmental issues<\/a>\u00a0| 26 March 2013 | IPIS
\nGold and diamonds in Central Africa easily conjure up images of conflict, rebel funding, human rights violations, and smuggling. As a country landlocked within an unstable region, neighbouring the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and recently the scene of another coup, the Central African Republic (CAR) might be considered an appropriate candidate for analysis within the conflict-mineral perspective. Yet this framework would ignore the country\u2019s mining sector\u2019s very specific characteristics. The sector offers an essential livelihood to many households, represents the country\u2019s second most important export product, and is organised in a particular way. Nonetheless, a wide range of issues regarding the country\u2019s mining sector persist.
\nThis report aims to analyse both the Central African Republic\u2019s gold and diamond mining sector and related environmental and socio-economic issues.<\/p>\n

Pinocchio Ltd. The NRA and its corporate partners: US shipments of small arms ammunition by sea<\/a>\u00a0| 25 March 2013 | TA-R\u00a0| IPIS
\nThe National Rifle Association (NRA) claims to have monitored in the last 20 years all United Nations activities that could impact Second Amendment rights. Its latest target is the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), an international treaty to establish common international standards for the import, export, and transfer of conventional arms presently under discussion at the United Nations. The international community has been calling for the inclusion of ammunition and civilian arms within the scope of the ATT. This reasonable call is used by the NRA to claim that the ATT could restrict the lawful ownership of firearms in the United States.<\/p>\n
