What are "Conflict Diamonds"?

Conflict Diamonds are diamonds that originate and are mined from areas controlled by forces at war, or otherwise in armed conflict with the region’s existing officially recognized government. The diamonds produced from these areas are used to illegally and often brutally fund military action in opposition to those governments, or in contravention of the decisions of the United Nations Security Council. Conflict Diamonds are also sometimes referred to as “Blood Diamonds.”

The Kimberley Process

In May 2000, Global participants came together in Kimberley, South Africa to create and implement standardization of certification among diamond exporting countries, thereby creating common language, transparency, auditing and monitoring of diamond exportation. Since the Kimberley Process has been put in place, the DTC reports that 99.8% of imported diamonds are certified conflict-free.

Clean Diamond Trade Act

In May 2000, the U.S. Government signed the Clean Diamond Trade Act, which enables the U.S. to implement the procedures developed by more than 50 countries to exclude rough conflict diamonds from international trade, while promoting legitimate trade.

The Clean Diamond Trade Act is aimed at protecting the legitimate diamond industry.
