		The Association Internationale Africaine (French) was an organization created by King LÃ©opold II of Belgium for supposedly furthering humanitarian projects in the area of Central Africa that was to become the Congo Free State and subsequently today's Democratic Republic of the Congo.
		As a result, the Association was originally conceived as a multi-person, scientific, and humanitarian assembly but it quickly became dominated by Leopold and his economic interests in Africa.
		The Association was intended to be a joint effort on the parts of all European countries present at the Conference, however, each nation formed its own national committee for exploration which would, in theory, share information with the whole of the Association, hence, a cooperative effort.

		It was a sham: at the close of the conference, Leopold proposed that they set up a international benevolent committee to carry on, and modestly agreed to accept the chairman's role.
		In a dazzling display of diplomatic virtuosity, Leopold had had the conference agree not to a transfer of the Congo to one of his many philanthropic shell organisations, nor even to his care in his capacity as King of the Belgians, but simply to himself.
		In 1902 Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness was released: based on his brief experience as a steamer captain on the Congo ten years before, it encapsulated the public's growing fears, and in 1904, Sir Roger Casement, then the British Consul, delivered a long, detailed eyewitness report which was made public.
