“…Zimbabwe and other Southern African states have repeatedly made such a use of insults at the meetings of the Kimberley Process, [17] in a deliberate attempt to derail it. For example, Western officials have been called "neo-colonialists" and NGO experts "discredited individuals who failed their careers" during official meetings, fueling Western diplomats' and NGOs' perceptions that further proceedings were simply impossible (Rousseau 2017).…”

This paper offers an original theoretical framework for the study of insults in international relations (IR). Bringing into IR the two main theoretical approaches to aggravating language, slurs and dysphemisms, we conceptualize insults’ disruptive impact on international interactions in a way that explains their logic, consequences, and risks. Specifically, we argue that insults constitute both at once tactical tools used by international actors to achieve their interests by disrupting an interaction and modifying the payoffs associated with it and linguistic artifacts constructing and sharpening self- and other identities. The components of our theoretical framework are illustrated with a wide range of empirical cases of international insults.

From the Democratic Republic of Congo Seeking Independence to the Democratic Republic of Congo which Commemorates Its Independence Celebrations. On June 30, 1960, the independence of the Belgian Congo, once personal possession for 23 years of the Belgian King Leopold II, was proclaimed as the “Republic of the Congo”. Emery-Patrice Lumumba (1925-1961) played a capital role in this emancipation which resulted in the consecration of Joseph Kasavubu as first President of the Republic of Congo and himself, Emery Patrice Lumumba, as Prime Minister. Congo has proclaimed its independence, but the new country remains plagued by violence and infighting. Belgian troops and peacekeepers from the United Nations intervene in the territory as a standoff begins between Kasavubu and Lumumba. On September 14, 1960, Colonel Joseph Désiré Mobutu led a first coup d’état which was followed by the arrest and assassination of Lumumba. The following years would be punctuated by rebellions and fighting interspersed with ceasefires in protest against the dictatorship established by the Mobutu regime after its second coup d’état, five years later, during a new political crisis. After thirty-two years of unchallenged reign, Mobutu was ousted from power by Mzee Laurent Désiré Kabila in May 1997 and since then, it has been difficult to speak of the real independence of the country, which became the Democratic Republic of Congo. Keywords: formal independence, real independence, Independence Day, Zaïre, Democratic Republic of Congo, colonization, decolonization, political emancipation, sovereignty.

Depuis six décennies environ que les États d’Afrique subsaharienne ont acquis leur indépendance, de multiples projets d’industrialisation ont été initiés suite à la découverte entre autres d’une grande quantité de matières premières, en l’occurrence les ressources naturelles. Dans le même temps, on a aussi noté de nombreuses années d’atteintes aux droits humains dans le triptyque multinationales/populations/ressources naturelles. Ces violations portent notamment sur les droits fonciers des populations, la dégradation de l’environnement, le droit à un environnement sain et le droit à la santé. Afin de garantir le respect des normes juridiques qui protègent les droits humains, l’application des textes par les multinationales est impérative, car l’aspect saillant de ces violations touche davantage les femmes qui paient un lourd tribut. Bien que le cadre juridique relatif à la protection des droits humains face aux activités des multinationales soit défini, diverses violations persistent. Il est ainsi question de s’interroger sur la récurrence de celles-ci, d’où l’intérêt de cet article qui tente de saisir la portée du respect par les entreprises multinationales des droits humains en Afrique subsaharienne, avec une approche qui ne laisse pas en retrait le genre et une démarche qui fait appel au droit international.
