Rich in natural resources, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has enormous economic and social potential. Nevertheless, little has been done to develop this potential for the benefit of the Congolese people, and so extreme poverty persists throughout the country. The current state of the world’s economy, the decline in demand and prices for minerals, combined with political instability in the country, has had negative repercussions on the economy and democratic space.

In October 2002, the Second UN Panel of Experts Report on Illegal exploitation of natural resources and other riches in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) included an annex listing companies which, in their view, violated the Guidelines. In October 2003, the UN published a subsequent report in which seven of the eight Canadian companies were listed as issues "resolved - no further action required." One company was listed as "Pending Cases with Governments". The NCP accepted the Panel's conclusions and followed up with the "eighth" company Kakanda Development Corporation. In response to the NCP's follow-up actions, the company replied with a letter describing their involvement in the DRC. The letter indicated that the company had not been active in the DRC since 1997 and they had officially halted all activities in the DRC as of June 4, 2004. The NCP subsequently brought this case to a close as a specific instance procedure.

No, not as with Belgium. After all King Leopard II claimed Congo as his personal property he enriched himself as much as possible at the expense of the Congolese people. People also remember the American role in the capture of Patrice Lumumba and currently there are issues with surrounding countries since they have invaded DRC in the past years. Most of them are gone again, but especially with Rwanda and Uganda, tensions are present. The occupying armies of the neighbouring countries financed their involvement by illegal mining operations, lumber operations etc. See also a recent UNSC report about the great plunder of DRC.

La demande d’examen a été présentée par cinq (5) anciens employés de la Société Minière et Industrielle du Kivu (SOMINKI SARL), une société minière installée à Kalima dans la province du Sud-Kivu en RDC, enregistrée dans l’ancien pays du Zaïre et maintenant en voie de liquidation.

The Sominki, created in 1976 from the merger of several companies, was the main mining company working in Kivu through the late 1970s to early 1990s. In late 1995, Banro Corporation acquired the SOMINKI with its 12 gold concessions and 35 tin concessions. By January 1996, Banro was a majority shareholder (72%) with the Zaire state holding the balance of the shares. In February 1997, BANRO and the Zaire government signed the Mining Convention. The result was the creation of SAKIMA SARL (93% Banro) to take over the mining projects.

Toutefois, dans le présent cas, le PCN a conclu que l’offre d’un dialogue encadré entre les déclarants et Banro ne contribuerait pas à la résolution directe de la question de la liquidation de la SOMINKI compte tenu de l’absence d’autres acteurs clés du processus de liquidation, particulièrement le gouvernement de la RDC, le comité de liquidation, la commission ad-hoc, les représentants des anciens travailleurs et possiblement d’autres acteurs.

Typically when the NCP assesses that an issue in a request for review merits further examination, it offers its good offices in the form of mediation or facilitated dialogue between the parties. However, in this particular instance, the NCP has concluded that offering a facilitated dialogue solely between the Notifiers and Banro would not contribute to the direct resolution of the liquidation of the SOMINKI given the absence of other key players in the liquidation process, in particular the DRC government, the liquidation committee, the Ad-hoc Commission, representatives of the ex-workers and possibly other actors.

Le PCN est d’avis que la Corporation devrait déployer tous les efforts possibles pour s’engager avec le gouvernement de la RDC afin de réactiver le processus de liquidation en vue de compléter ce processus de manière efficace et de verser les indemnités dues aux employés, le cas échéant.

While the company was facing a particularly challenging set of circumstances, the decision to liquidate SOMINKI, the creation of SAKIMA and the transfer to RMA constituted a situation of significant employment changes. The liquidation of the SOMINKI is not complete to date, and this situation has caused real negative impacts on the livelihood of some workers. It is the NCP’s view that the Company should make all efforts possible to engage with the government of the DRC to reactivate the liquidation process with a view to contributing to an effective completion of the liquidation process and payment of outstanding employee compensation where appropriate.
