Write to European Parliamentarians to urge stronger conflict mineral regulations

See all tags

In sourcing resources coming from conflict-affected or high-risk areas, European businesses are at risk of fuelling violence to the detriment of human rights, peace and development. In this way, “blood minerals” find their way into our computers, our telephones, our cars…The European Parliament will in the very near future give its opinion on the proposed law. Through their involvement in the 3 Parliamentary committees particularly concerned by this file (International Trade, Foreign Affairs and Development), certain European Parliamentarians will play a key role!

Let’s demand from European Parliamentarians that they vote in favor of an effective regulation that will contribute to reestablishing peace !
