NEWS IN BRIEF<\/h1>\n

Border clashes between Rwanda and the DRC in mid-June have seen reports of\u00a0five FARDC deaths<\/a>\u00a0with indications that these fatalities may have been the result of execution not combat \u2013 a claim Kigali denies. Tensions between the states continued to manifest this week as Rwandan forces arrested nine Congolese fishermen. Meanwhile,\u00a0South Kivu<\/a>\u00a0saw clashes involving Burundian FLN rebels, who claim to have killed 9 Burundian soldiers in the province. The Burundian army denies any troop presence on Congolese territory. \u00a0FARDC are said to have dislodged the mai-mai Yakutumba from Talama after a week of intense fighting, whilst in\u00a0North Kivu<\/a>, there has been public outcry over military abuses against civilians in and around Beni, including the alleged murder of Buloloma\u2019s chief. In\u00a0Province Orientale<\/a>, Mbororo pastoralists are accused of colluding with the LRA in the perpetration of abuses against civilians in Dungu and Niangara. Three FADRC soldiers are reported dead in Ituri after an attack on FARDC positions by armed men in attire resembling South Sudanese army uniforms. In\u00a0Katanga<\/a>, there are rumors that Gideon has proposed disarming and disbanding his group, whilst the South Katanga Mining Company has faced public anger this week after police seeking to secure its Kawama concession fired shots to disperse illegal miners, killing three.<\/p>\n

In the Central African Republic, retaliatory clashes between anti-balaka and the Seleka left dozens dead in\u00a0Bambari\u00a0<\/a>between Sunday and Monday, as ten bodies said to bear signs of torture, were found in the\u00a0Ouaka river<\/a>\u00a0this week. Seleka and anti-balaka representatives have reportedly agreed on engaging in talks under the mediation of NGO\u00a0Pareto<\/a>, in what is hoped might be a first step towards a cease-fire. The week has seen the publication of two notable NGO reports on the situation in the CAR by\u00a0International Crisis Group<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0FIDH<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In France,\u00a0French youth leaders<\/a>\u00a0have called upon previous political generations to shed light on the country\u2019s involvement in the \u201994 Genocide and, consequently, take responsibility for their actions at that time. Former Liberian president Charles Taylor has requested a prison transfer to Rwanda, citing proximity and threat of exposure to attacks by Al Qaeda militants.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0United States has taken measures<\/a>\u00a0that communicate its discontent with Uganda\u2019s recent Anti-Gay Law. The measures, viewed by Uganda\u00a0as \u2018blackmail\u2019, appeared to have an immediate effect on the country\u2019s currency.<\/p>\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

Sexual violence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minding the Gap: London hosts unprecedented global summit to end sexual violence in conflict<\/a>\u00a0\u2758 20 June 2014 \u2758 Enough Project
\n[\u2026] In an effort to prevent tragedies like the attack on Minova and the impunity that followed, actress and UN Special Envoy Angelina Jolie and British Foreign Secretary William Hague co-chaired the first ever Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict in London on June 10-13. The summit highlighted what can and must be done to address this widespread issue. Attendees included representatives from more than 100 countries and over 900 experts ranging from NGO representatives to rape survivors to faith organizations, making the event the largest ever to focus on sexual violence in conflict.<\/p>\n

Tackling sexual violence in War needs gender justice in Peace too<\/a>\u00a0\u2758 18 June 2014 \u2758 allAfrica \u2758 Institute of Development Studies
\nLast week the UK hosted the biggest global meeting ever on a frighteningly big, but under-recognised, issue of our times: sexual violence in conflict. High-level politicians, A-list celebrities (Foreign Secretary William Hague co-chaired with Angelina Jolie) and over 900 survivors and opinion-leaders, policy-makers and practitioners, and international, national and local organisations from over 100 countries came together. They aimed to raise awareness around the use of rape as a weapon of war, and other related forms of sexual violence; to strengthen laws and practices to bring perpetrators to justice and to support practical means to protect women in conflict settings and support victims. A sea-change in attitudes at all levels, the summit argued, is needed to recognise and tackle the widespread horrors taking place in conflicts in Rwanda, Liberia, Northern Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and beyond.<\/p>\n

\nC’est une r\u00e9v\u00e9lation de la BBC. Selon les informations recueillies par nos confr\u00e8res, les cinq personnes tu\u00e9es \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re, lors des affrontements la semaine derni\u00e8re entre les arm\u00e9es rwandaise et congolaise, seraient des militaires congolais, et auraient \u00e9t\u00e9 ex\u00e9cut\u00e9s. C’est ce que leur dit un m\u00e9decin militaire qui a vu les corps \u00e0 la morgue. Jusqu’\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent, le gouvernement congolais avait parl\u00e9 d’un caporal enlev\u00e9 et ex\u00e9cut\u00e9. C’est d’ailleurs le seul militaire dont il reconna\u00eet la mort. De son c\u00f4t\u00e9, Kigali \u00e9voquait cinq morts chez les FARDC. Interrog\u00e9 \u00e0 ce propos lors d’une conf\u00e9rence de presse, la ministre rwandaise des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res Louise Mushikiwabo a dit ne pas avoir de d\u00e9tails sur les circonstances de leur mort.<\/p>\n

Serious conflict appeared imminent as troops and tanks built up in the hills just north of Goma, in North Kivu, but then faded away just as suddenly, inviting questions about political manoeuvring between Kinshasa and Kigali.<\/p>\n

The Central African Crisis: From Predation to Stabilisation<\/a>\u00a0\u2758 17 June 2014 \u2758 International Crisis Group
\nThe crisis that has plagued the Central African Republic (CAR) since December 2012, particularly predation by both authorities and armed groups, has led to the collapse of the state. Under the Seleka, bad governance inherited from former regimes worsened. Its leaders looted state resources and controlled the country\u2019s illicit economic networks. Ending this cycle of predatory rule and moving peacefully to a state that functions and can protect its citizens requires CAR\u2019s international partners to prioritise, alongside security, economic revival and the fight against corruption and illegal trafficking. Only a close partnership between the government, UN and other international actors, with foreign advisers working alongside civil servants in key ministries, can address these challenges.<\/p>\n

Boundary spanning: moving towards strategic stakeholder engagement<\/a>\u00a0| 3 February 2014 | IPIS
\nBy Anna Bulzomi
\nTo address complex human rights impacts, companies need to move away from responding to crises and work with communities towards creating shared value.<\/p>\n

IPIS Insights<\/em>: The 2nd Annual United Nations Forum on Business and Human Rights, Geneva 2013<\/a>\u00a0| January 2014 | IPIS
\nFrom the 2 – 4 December 2013, IPIS attended the United Nations Forum on Business and Human Rights. The Forum was established by the Human Rights Council and is under the guidance of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights. IPIS\u2019 researchers Gabriella Wass and Anna Bulzomi offer some insights into topics at the Forum that struck them as particularly interesting.<\/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

Business, Human Rights, and Uganda\u2019s Oil – Part II: Protect and Remedy: Implementing State duties under the UN Framework on Business and Human Rights<\/a>\u00a0| December 2013 | IPIS
\nThe following is the second in a series of four reports exploring business and human rights issues in Uganda\u2019s oil sector. This series is a collaboration between IPIS vsw and ActionAid Uganda.
\nIn accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, this second report assesses the duty of the Ugandan, British, French and Chinese States to prevent, investigate, punish and redress human rights abuse by businesses.<\/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

IPIS Insights<\/em>: Kimberley Process: observations from the sidelines. Part I<\/a>\u00a0| 21 November 2013 | IPIS
\nTen years after the launch of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) this paper is the first in a two part series providing an overview of where the Kimberley Process and international efforts to combat the trade in conflict diamonds currently stand. It will analyse some of the present challenges facing the system and some of the potential solutions on the table.<\/p>\n

Ambushed in Bangkok? The U.N. Panel on North Korea and the case of the IL-76 “4L-AWA”<\/a>\u00a0| 14 November 2013 | IPIS\/TA
\nThis new IPIS\/TA report explains why the conclusion of the latest United Nations report on North Korea sanctions, about an arms flight grounded in Thailand, is not supported by facts, but based on a misalliance of wrong and misleading information, gleaned both about the cargo aircraft, its flight and the entities involved, together with erroneous interpretations of standard aviation practices made by the UN Panel of experts on North Korea.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the interactive map of artisanal mining areas in Eastern DR Congo<\/a>\u00a0| 12 November 2013 | IPIS
\nIn August 2009 the \u2018International Peace Information Service\u2019 (IPIS) published a first map of militarised mining areas in Eastern DR Congo. By 2012, the international interest in the issue had grown but the map was out-dated. 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
