In April 2012 the Belgian NCP received a request for review from the NGOs the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), the Action contre l’Impunité pour les Droits de l’Homme (ACIDH), Rights & Accountability in Development (RAID) alleging that Compagnie Minière du Sud Katanga (CMSK) or Entreprise Générale Malta Forrest (EGMF), subsidiary companies of the Forrest Group, had breached the general policies and human rights provisions of the Guidelines in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It was alleged that the mining operations at Luiswishi mine were responsible for the destruction of property in the villages of Kawama and Lukuni-gare which occurred when the police organised an operation to halt clandestine artisanal mining activities.
The NCP met three times with the parties. In its final statement (in French) issued on 12 February 2013 concluding the specific instance, the NCP noted that all governmental efforts to remedy the situation and reimburse the loss of property had remained without result. The NCP had obtained agreement from the Rachel Forrest Foundation, Forrest Group's humanitarian association, to repair a well, the school and the pharmacy. However this offer was rejected by the inhabitants of the villages as inadequate.
In concluding the specific instance, the NCP called on the Forrest Group to realise the social measures proposed for the benefit of the local population.
