Episode 7: Conflict Minerals in the DRC with Special Guest Maja Tuma
Tiemo and Aljaž are joined by a special guest Maja to guide them on a path exploring conflict minerals in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The mineral mostly discussed in this episode and dominant in the DRC is cobalt. These cobalt mines are problematic as they may involve child labor and other human rights abuses.
The trio explore what the EU has been doing to mitigate the situation, namely the Conflict Minerals Regulation and expand to a broader discussion on the solution for human rights abuses in mineral mines. The discussion goes beyond the DRC to Africa in general where issues of corruption are rampant and external actors such as Russia and China are stirring the pot making it difficult to prevent human rights exploitation in these mines.
