Moreover, while the international community is quick to pounce on African leaders for governance failures, it seems less enthusiastic about examining its role in the flight of African assets. Europe and America were slow to enact legislation barring their companies from bribing foreign government officials in return for mining concessions or other advantages, and there has been limited enforcement of the rules.
此外，国际社会在抓住非洲领导人治理错误不放的同时，似乎对审视自己在非洲资产流失中所起的作用并不那么热衷。欧洲和美国在立法禁止本国企业贿赂外国政府官员，以换取采矿特许权或其他利益的问题上行动迟缓，对规则的执行力度也非常有限。同样，欧洲和美国的银行也从非洲掠夺了大量的资源。
