Global Witness welcomes UN report highlighting link between minerals and conflict in DRC and calls for end to impunity for crimes
Global Witness welcomes the confirmation, in a landmark UN report published today, of strong links between the activities of brutal armed groups and the trade in minerals and timber in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Global Witness has been campaigning for over 10 years on the Congo conflict, and strongly backs the UN’s call for justice to be pursued for victims.
