2023 Forum on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains

Extractives, Crime and Conflict: Deep Dives and Global Perspective

Apr 26, 2023 | 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Partner session - Room CC20

Description

Organised by: Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime Criminality in the extractives sector poses a major barrier to advancing due diligence for responsible mineral sourcing. The challenge is further complicated, and impacts even greater, when extraction takes place in places experiencing high-levels of conflict and insecurity. This partner session will present deep dives into the dynamics between extractives, crime and insecurity followed by a discussion on similarities and differences in criminal threats, conflict and security dynamics, and implications for due diligence and responsible sourcing efforts.
