An Evaluation of Kimberley Process, ICGLR, RMI & OECD" Certification Mechanisms

This short analytical study explores the existing national, regional and global certification mechanisms such as the Kimberly Process, ICGLR, OECD Due diligence measures, Responsible Mining Initiatives in the quagmire of improving of minerals
governance. It entangles and assesses the increasing perceptions (based on evidence from countries such as the DRC) that the current certification regime is running dangerously obsolete, not designed for critical minerals and thus needs a review and realignment for new purpose, including proposing measures that go beyond the current regional certification. The brief makes recommendations for the review and expansion of the current existing certification mechanisms. It is relevant and targets stakeholders such as the ICGLR and the Kimberly Process Secretariate, EAC & ICGLR member states, African Union Minerals Development Centre, UNOSEGLR, UN Critical Minerals High Level Panel and the UN SG and civil society organisations interested in stopping human rights abuse illegal smuggling and trading of blood and conflict critical mineral
minerals.
