ICMM responds to War on Want report
The report fails to acknowledge the role that mining companies can play in preventing conflict and contributing to economic development in post-conflict countries.
Research undertaken by ICMM, the World Bank and UNCTAD (2006) has found that mining investment can provide opportunities for economic growth, poverty reduction, and engagement in the global economy which can be particularly critical for countries at an early stage of development.
With its highly selective use of opinions and citations, Fanning the Flames does not contribute constructively to this debate.
