| What are conflict diamonds?
|
|
Conflict diamonds, also known as "blood diamonds" are diamonds that are mined
in war torn nations in Africa, and sold to insurgents to finance their was
efforts. This issue was first identified in 1998 by the United Nations as a
source for the funding of wars. In 2000, the Diamond industry took its first
steps to combat the trade of these conflict diamonds.

| Kimberley Process Certification Scheme |
|
In 2003, the United Nations introduced resolution 55/56, or the Kimberley
Process Certification Scheme "KPCS". The purpose of the KPCS is to certify the
origin of rough diamonds from conflict-free sources. The purpose of the
Kimberley Certification scheme is to prevent "blood diamonds" from entering the
mainstream diamond market,thereby providing customers assurance that by
purchasing diamonds, they are not financing war and human rights abuses.
