In this post, Anoussa Salim examines whether the DRC’s legal and regulatory frameworks on child labour align with humanitarian law standards. She argues that while the DRC has a strong legal framework, poor enforcement, driven by poverty, corruption, and weak oversight, undermines its effectiveness. The post calls for a holistic strategy that includes law enforcement, socioeconomic reform, and greater corporate accountability.
