What is The Kimberley Process? |
[Edit] |
Answer
The Kimberley Process - aka The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) - is a joint governments, industry and civil society initiative to stem the flow of conflict diamonds - rough diamonds used by rebel movements to finance wars against legitimate governments. The trade in these illicit stones has fuelled decades of devastating conflicts in countries such as Angola, Cote d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sierra Leone.
