Enoughs Holly Dranginis defends Dodd-Frank conflict minerals provision, and tells us why we have to keep up the fight for corporate responsibility in the Congo. Archbishop Rusengo of Bukavu, a staunch Congolese advocate of minerals regulation, has said, “In the 21st century one can’t continue to exercise the right of the strongest rather than law itself.” Without curbing the financing of war, we cannot hope to see an end to violent oppression of mining communities in Congo. And without illuminating supply chains whose origins are battle zones, we cannot break the links between our own consumer behavior and Congo’s prolonged war.
