UN accused AVX, and many other firms to be interested in illegal coltan extraction and war in DRC. According to Hackers "Usually Coltan was stealed by war groups from Congo mines and carried out to the firms. Million of people lost their lives in Congo war, nature was destroyed in order to dig coltan and a lots of gorillas were killed. Unfortunately UN decided to abandon the case and never punish the responsible of the war an nature devastation."

 

"AVX and other involved firms published an ethical code in 2010; they claim that they don't get tantalium from war areas. NOW a new civil war is growing up in Congo and is totally hypocrite to share DRC in different areas in order to say that some of these are war free.AVX, UN trial refused to punish you, but operationgreenrights doesn't forget."
