As a consequence of funding constraints affecting the Weekly Briefing, IPIS is currently reconsidering the publication of this weekly news digest. Over the next months, we will provide a more limited briefing every two weeks.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are currently exploring options for securing the full continued provision of this service. Our surveys indicate that the briefing has proved itself a valuable resource for a wide spectrum of researchers, policy makers, journalists, and other practitioners closely following developments in the Great Lakes region. As such, we also would like to reach out to the Weekly Briefing\u2019s readership for ideas or advice in respect of ensuring its continued financing.

On 1 January, the Congolese population awoke to the surprising news that political actors in the country had signed a comprehensive political accord that sets elections for 2017, and stipulates explicitly that Congolese President Joseph Kabila cannot stand for another term as president. It is a significant accord, but the simple fact of its signing does not mean the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is out of the woods yet.<\/p>\n

As a leading member of the U.S. Jewelry industry, we are writing to express our support for Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the corresponding Securities and Exchange Commission\u2019s Conflict Minerals Rule. We do believe that the due diligence and traceability measures required by Section 1502 are an essential component to breaking the links between conflict and the minerals trade in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. This legislation has helped strengthen our own responsible supply chain management practices. The major jewelry industry association, The Responsible Jewellery Council, has modeled conflict minerals guidance from this precedent. We further acknowledge that this provision has led to the development of several important private sector schemes that promote and facilitate responsible sourcing from the region, including one that we are actively a participant.<\/p>\n
