“Through our work promoting the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights in the mining sector in DRC, we have gradually come to understand the important role private security plays, especially as it interacts with public security forces. ICoCA provides us the opportunity for learning and sharing knowledge on private security governance.”

“Our membership was motivated by the need for greater access to documentary resources on the implementation of the Voluntary Principles. Membership of ICoCA has further strengthened our role as a major player in the implementation of the International Code of Conduct in DRC and our affirmation as an actor working for the improvement of private security governance through monitoring, complaints management and victim support.”
