The concept note by Jason Stearns and Steve Hege develops a proposal for a third-party monitoring and enforcement mechanism to address the militarization of mining in the Eastern DR Congo. Inspired by the broad support that this idea received during a two-part event organized by CIC in December 2009, the document lays out how this mechanism would be structured, its operational capacities, collaboration with Congolese authorities, along with the unique contributions it would make to the dynamic and complex reality of the Kivu provinces.
