Next Century Foundation’s Research Officer Manisha Shrivastava addresses the United Nations Human Rights Council in person on conflict minerals and accountability in the Central African Republic, highlighting how armed groups and security actors are financed by gold and diamond wealth that escapes effective oversight, and calling for the country to rebuild its EITI candidacy and apply due-diligence and traceability standards to gold on a par with those required for diamonds.
