The Democratic Republic of Congo has many treaties set up, including “Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child” and “Optional protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities” (UN Treaties) . The first entails prevention measures for banning recruitment of children under 18. This is also the same in the United States of America. The second entails the promotion of rights for people with disabilities. These are two of the most common and replicated treaties across the world, providing basic needs for humans. 
Continuing on with treaties and trade agreements, The DRC has bilateral trade agreements with over 50 countries and belongs to several international and regional trade organizations, including: the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA),the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), the Economic Community of the Great Lakes Countries (ECGLC), the Organization for harmonization of the business law in Africa (OHADA), and the East African Community (EAC)” (Trade Agreements).
