DRC: Human Rights Impact Assessments for Mining Projects

CCSI, working with the Carter Center, the Columbia Law School Human Rights Clinic, and the Clinic of Sciences Po Paris Law School, supported local organizations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to carry out human rights impact assessments. CCSI also provided support to develop two economic models for the Sicomines mine in the DRC to compare the financial flows under the resource for infrastructure deal with a ‘traditional’ contract under the mining code of the DRC.
