International bodies and standards
Kimberley Process
Intergovernmental certification scheme for rough diamonds (conflict diamonds)
The Kimberley Process, launched in 2003, is a certification scheme of governments, industry and civil society to stop trade in conflict diamonds.
What it does
Member countries certify rough diamond shipments and only trade with other members; each shipment travels with a Kimberley Process certificate.
Why it matters to you
Any import or export of rough diamonds must go through its certification; the World Diamond Council's System of Warranties extends it to polished trade.
