  • EN Church Leaders' Statement EU Conflict Minerals Regulation
    May 2015 We need supply chain due diligence to stop complicity in funding conflicts Companies are selling products containing natural resources that fuel violence and suffering. We, Catholic leaders throughout the world, call on the EU to put an end to this. As images and stories of horrors inflicted on vulnerable children, women and men in conflicts around the world strike us daily, citizens are expecting guarantees that they are not complicit. The indifference of a few, who look away from their part of responsibility for other peoples’ pain, threatens our shared human dignity. To stop this, new rules are urgently needed to ensure that the bounty of God’s creation does not serve unquestioning consumption while underwriting the destruction of life. The Earth’s resources must be managed wisely by good stewards, with assurances for people at both ends of today’s global supply chains that join us as to the morality of our trading system. In certain Southern countries and especially those rich in resources We love this magnificent planet on which God has put (minerals, wood, gas, oil ...), the control, us, and we love the human family which dwells here, extraction, processing and trade of these with all its tragedies and struggles, its hopes and resources are financing armed groups and aspirations, its strengths and weaknesses. The earth is our security and military forces who commit common home and all of us are brothers and sisters. If serious violations of human rights, rather indeed “the just ordering of society and of the state is a than contributing to human development.

We are profoundly grateful for the leadership that produced this Agreement and are mindful of the challenges and complexity ahead. Now it is time to move to urgent action. Across all faiths, we share a moral obligation to not harm others, to be fair and to care for the vulnerable. Climate change is already having global impacts, disproportionately affecting poor and marginalized communities and we grieve for their loss and suffering. How we turn the corner to harness the worst impacts of climate change depends on the work we do in the next ten, five, even two years. Each and every one of us must act on the reality of the climate crisis, so that the damage we inflict upon our sacred Earth ceases and the ecosystems on which all life depends can heal.

  • EN-CIDSE Briefing EU Conflict Minerals Nov 2015
    Securing a strong and effective EU regulation for supply chain due diligence to stop complicity in funding conflicts November 2015 In May 2015, the European Parliament voted to require all European manufacturers and importers of components and final products containing four minerals, such as mobile phones or cars, to check their supply chains to make sure they don’t fuel conflicts. During the current Trialogue negotiations between the European Parliament, Council of the European Union and European Commission, European Member States and EU political leaders have a historic opportunity to secure this key achievement as well as to further strengthen the European Parliament text. The European Parliament’s vote: a great step forward When considering the European Commission’s “conflict minerals” proposal in March 2014, the vote in the European Parliament represents a great step forward for communities affected by human rights abuses fueled by natural resource extraction. The European Parliament’s vote legally requires that all EU companies processing, importing and using tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG) act responsibly and undertake due diligence. This goes much further than the initial European Commission proposal, which only required European smelters and refiners to check their supply chains, on a voluntary basis. This evolution is a clear victory, though some gaps remain. But the message to the European Council and the European Commission is clear: A voluntary opt-in system for importers of raw materials is unacceptable. Church leaders calling for a strong regulation Nearly 150 Bishops from 38 countries on 5 continents have joined their voices in signing the statement supported by CIDSE, the international alliance of Catholic development agencies, to highlight that “this European regulation will succeed in bringing tangible change to suffering communities if it can be further strengthened in a few critical ways: Consistency in the range of natural resources covered.
