Protectee of 2005's Kinshasa Declaration (3)

I believe the answer is:

ape

(Other definitions for ape that I've seen before include "Wild animal" , "Imitate, clumsy person (colloq.)" , "Primate resembling a human" , "Mimic the primate" , "Our cousin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
