尽管Apple声称2024年停止采购, 一个非营利组织却指控Apple公司持续使用来自刚果和卢旺达的冲突矿物。 A nonprofit sued Apple over alleged ongoing use of conflict minerals from Congo and Rwanda, despite Apple's claimed 2024 sourcing halt.

一家总部设在华盛顿的非营利组织对苹果公司提出新的诉讼,指控该公司继续从刚果民主共和国和卢旺达(那里的侵犯人权现象持续存在)获取矿物——钴、锡、钽和钨——的冲突源。 A Washington-based nonprofit has filed a new lawsuit against Apple, alleging the company continues to source conflict minerals—cobalt, tin, tantalum, and tungsten—from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, where human rights abuses persist. 该公司声称,尽管该公司于2024年12月暂停从该地区采购,但苹果公司的供应链仍与武装团体和剥削劳工有关联。 The suit claims Apple’s supply chain remains linked to armed groups and exploitative labor, despite the company’s assertion that it suspended sourcing from the region in December 2024. 该集团认为,苹果公司的尽职调查措施,包括第三方认证和 " 袋和标签 " 制度,由于广泛的走私和供应链不透明,没有效力。 The group argues Apple’s due diligence measures, including third-party certifications and the “bag and tag” system, are ineffective due to widespread smuggling and supply chain opacity. 在2024年被驳回的诉讼之后,本案标志着在这个问题上对苹果公司提起的第二次法律诉讼。 The case marks the second legal action against Apple on this issue, following a dismissed 2024 suit. 苹果公司尚未对最新指控作出回应。 Apple has not yet responded to the latest allegations.
