Summary
The United States, along with the international community, has sought to improve peace and security in the DRC for over 2 decades. However, according to the Department of State and the United Nations, conflict has persisted and contributed to severe human rights abuses and the displacement of people. Armed groups continue to profit from the mining and trade of conflict minerals, according to State. This report examines how companies responded to the SEC conflict minerals disclosure rule when filing in 2022.
