IWhat are conflict diamonds?

Diamonds which are illegally traded to fund conflict.

The term was coined in the late 1990s when rebels

in some African countries used diamonds to fund

movements against legitimate governments. When

the problem was at its height, conflict diamonds

accounted for only 4% of the world’s diamond

supply. Today, they account for considerably less

than 1%.

IWhat has been done about conflict diamonds?

(Refer to above diagram)

The diamond industry, governments, the United Nations

and non-governmental organizations adopted the

Kimberley Process Certification System (Nov. 2002) to

stem the trade in conflict diamonds. The SoW was put in

place to assure only legitimately sourced diamonds are

traded. Today over 99% of the world’s diamond supply is

certified to be from sources that are free from conflict.

IWhat should you do?

– Educate yourself about the issue and know

the facts. Go to www.diamondfacts.org

for more information.

– Ensure you know what your organization’s

policy is on conflict diamonds.

– Prepare yourself for the difficult questions.
