ABSTRACT
That this Association, founded in March 1904 with the object of restoring to the natives of the Congo the rights guaranteed them under the Berlin and Brussels Acts, of which they had been deprived by their European rulers, and of putting an end to the barbarities inflicted upon them … records the belief that its main purposes have now been secured and that its labours may be honourably brought to a conclusion. 1 —resolution passed unanimously at the Congo Reform Association’s final meeting, 16 June 1913
