Correspondence and Report from His Majesty's Consul at Boma Respecting the Administration of the Independent State of the Congo [and Further Correspondence]
This British parliamentary paper of 1904 contains the report Roger Casement wrote as consul at Boma after traveling up the Congo River in 1903 to investigate conditions under King Leopold II's Congo Free State. In plain official prose he records depopulated villages, forced collection of rubber, the taking of hostages, flogging and the mutilation of men, women and children, with statements from witnesses identified only by initials. Covering dispatches from the Foreign Office and further correspondence, including the Congo government's replies and later consular reports, complete the volume. The report gave the international Congo reform campaign its central evidence and remains a foundational document in the history of human rights reporting. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
