Description

Loren Yager. The nature of diamonds & the international diamond industry’s operations create opportunities for illicit trade, including trade in conflict. Conflict diamonds are used by rebel movements to finance their military activities, including attempts to undermine or overthrow legitimate governments. These conflicts have created severe humanitarian crises in a number of African countries. An international effort called the Kimberley Process, in which the U.S. participates, aims to develop a diamond certification scheme to deter the flow of conflict diamonds. This report assesses the challenges associated with deterring trade in conflict diamonds. Charts, tables & maps.
