Neutrality
[edit]Both king Leopold II and this society were closely linked with the genocidal politics of the Congo Free State, and anti-slavery was one of the vehicles Leopold used to cover up his crimes against humanity. Although the number of victims will never be known exactly, estimates exist that about 50 %, i.e. 10 million inhabitants, of what is now the DR Congo died under Leopold's rule. The relationship between the conference and that genocide has to be reflected. Rsk6400 (talk) 07:59, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
