The Casement Report was a 1904 document written by Roger Casement (1864–1916)—a diplomat and Irish independence fighter—detailing abuses in the Congo Free State which was under the private ownership of King Leopold II of Belgium. This report was instrumental in Leopold finally relinquishing his private holdings in Africa. Leopold had held ownership of the Congolese state since 1885, granted to him by the Berlin Conference, in which he exploited its natural resources (mostly rubber) for his own private wealth.

  • El Informe Casement fue un documento de 1904 escrito por Roger Casement (1864-1916) -un diplomático y luchador independentista irlandés- en el que se detallaban los abusos en el Estado Libre del Congo, que estaba bajo la propiedad privada del rey Leopoldo II de Bélgica. Este informe fue decisivo para que el rey Leopoldo finalmente renunciara a sus propiedades privadas en África. Leopoldo tenía la propiedad del Estado congoleño desde 1885, que le fue concedida por la Conferencia de Berlín, en la que explotó sus recursos naturales, principalmente el caucho para su propia riqueza privada.

  • Le rapport Casement est un document datant de 1904 écrit par le diplomate et combattant de l'indépendance irlandaise, Roger Casement (1864-1916). Il est chargé par le Foreign Office de recueillir de nombreux témoignages directs sur les abus commis dans l’État indépendant du Congo qui était à l'époque la propriété privée du roi Léopold II de Belgique. Ce rapport très détaillé a contribué à ce que le souverain belge renonce à ses possessions privées en Afrique. L'État du Congo était une propriété privée du roi Léopold II accordée lors de la conférence de Berlin en 1885. Celui-ci en exploitait les ressources naturelles (principalement le caoutchouc) pour son bénéfice personnel. (fr)
