Blood diamonds, also known as conflict diamonds, are diamonds sold by rebel groups to fund operations that often involve human rights abuses. They are produced in countries like Ghana and Mali, where rebels force local populations into slave labor to mine diamonds. The international community has implemented the Kimberley Process to certify diamonds and prevent conflict diamonds from entering the mainstream market. Individuals can help by educating themselves on the issue and supporting organizations working to end the trade in blood diamonds.

Period 6- Lana Bobko- Blood diamonds
Blood diamonds, also known as conflict diamonds, are diamonds illegally mined in war zones to fund militias and overthrow governments in parts of Africa. Children were forced into slave labor in dangerous mines to find diamonds, and faced violence if they did not meet quotas. The diamond trade funded wars that killed millions in Africa and destroyed communities. Eventually, laws like the Kimberley Process and increased public awareness through films helped curb the illicit blood diamond trade.

Blood diamond
Blood diamonds, also known as conflict diamonds, are mined in war zones and sold to fund militias and rebel groups. They have primarily originated from West Africa, where rebels have used the profits from diamond mining to purchase arms and continue conflicts. Rebels have forced men, women and children into slave labor to mine diamonds under violent conditions. In response, the Kimberley Process was established in 2003 by the UN to certify diamonds as conflict-free and prevent conflict diamonds from entering the mainstream market. While this has helped stabilize some countries and support development, illegal diamonds still find their way to markets, so consumers must ensure the diamonds they buy are certified as conflict-free.
Blood diamond
Blood diamonds, also known as conflict diamonds, are diamonds mined in war zones and sold to fund insurgencies and rebel military actions against legitimate governments. Violence, threats, torture, and slavery are used in the mining of these diamonds, which are then smuggled into the international diamond trade. Over 50,000 lives have been lost due to conflict surrounding blood diamonds in West Africa. In response, the Kimberley Process was established in 2003 to certify the origin of diamonds and prevent conflict diamonds from entering mainstream markets.
Blood diamonds
Diamonds are a crystalline form of pure carbon that are the hardest natural substance. They were first mined in India centuries ago but the diamond industry grew in the 19th century when large deposits were found in South Africa. However, "conflict diamonds" mined in African war zones were used to finance violence. In response, the Kimberley Process was established to certify the origin of diamonds and ensure conflict diamonds do not enter legitimate markets, helping end the human costs of the diamond trade.
Dr. Ali Usman, Pakistan, CASM Asia, Conflict Gems
The document discusses conflict gems and illegal gem trafficking, particularly how some gems are smuggled and sold to fund terrorism, wars, and civil conflicts. It notes that while most gems are sourced legally, some are smuggled out of countries like Afghanistan, Myanmar, Colombia and smuggled into other countries to avoid taxes and regulations, with the profits sometimes funding armed groups and terrorism. Estimates suggest tens to hundreds of times more gems are smuggled than legally exported from some producing countries.
Nicky Oppenheimer's speech to the Harvard Alumni in Cape Town March 1999
1. De Beers is a monopoly that controls the global diamond market through controlling supply and setting prices, breaking antitrust laws. However, it argues this benefits both diamond producers and consumers.
2. Diamonds have been economically critical for development in several African nations where they are mined, such as South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia. Diamond revenues have driven significant economic growth.
3. De Beers asserts that its single-channel marketing system, where it purchases all diamond production, has stabilized prices and benefited both producers and consumers over the long run, outpacing other commodities. This system is critical to supporting the economies of African diamond-producing nations.
The diamond development initiative can you dig it
The Diamond Development Initiative (DDI) was established in 2005 to address challenges in delivering developmental benefits from diamond mining to local communities, particularly artisanal miners. The DDI focuses on improving the governance and conditions in the production and sale of diamonds within producing countries in Africa. It aims to gather information, promote better regulation and market access for artisanal miners, and increase participation among governments, donors, industry and NGOs. The DDI seeks to address exploitative labor conditions, lack of infrastructure and information, health and environmental impacts, and security issues surrounding artisanal alluvial diamond mining in Africa.
Conflict Diamond Industry In Africa
Conflict diamonds, also known as blood diamonds, are diamonds mined in war zones and sold to finance conflicts characterized by violence against civilians. Rebel groups use profits from blood diamonds to purchase weapons and continue fighting, resulting in prolonged conflict, widespread human rights abuses, and civilian deaths. Issues surrounding the blood diamond trade include fueling civil wars, ecological degradation from mining, using children as soldiers, slavery in mines, and spreading disease like HIV/AIDS. Consumers are encouraged to avoid buying diamonds from African mines due to these humanitarian and environmental issues.
Blood Diamond Essay
The document discusses blood diamonds, also known as conflict diamonds or war diamonds, which are diamonds mined in war zones and sold to finance conflicts characterized by violence against civilians. Specifically, it describes how the rebel group UNITA in Angola uses profits from selling rough diamonds to purchase arms, fueling civil war and human rights abuses that have left many Angolans amputated by landmines. Efforts are needed to prohibit the sale of blood diamonds and ensure diamonds come from conflict-free mines in order to address this serious humanitarian issue.
Jade A Global Witness investigation into Myanmar's "Big State Secret"
The most valuable jade in the world is found in the Kachin hills of northern Myanmar.
This 12 month investigation reveals it is worth far more than previously thought - up to US$31 billion in 2014 alone. That is equivalent to nearly half the GDP of the whole country, which badly needs it. But hardly any of the money is reaching ordinary people or state coffers.
Instead, the trade is controlled by the military elites, US sanctioned drug lords and crony companies that the country's rebranded government says it is consigning to the past. These networks cream off vast profits while local people suffer terrible abuses and see their natural inheritance ripped out from beneath their feet. These injustices are stoking unrest in an already unstable and volatile region.
Global corruption
This document provides an overview of global corruption cases from various countries around the world. It discusses corruption scandals and cases in Panama, Nigeria, Peru, Chechnya, Tunisia, Ukraine, Panama, Malaysia, Russia, Spain, Venezuela, the Maldives, Equatorial Guinea, South Africa, Myanmar, Guatemala, and Turkey. For each country or region, it summarizes the individuals involved in corruption, the methods used, and the impacts on the societies and governments.
The Trans-Saharan Trade
The Trans-Saharan trade was a constant source of wealth for West African kingdoms like Mali and Songhai, strengthening their economies. Wealth came from taxing foreign ships that traded on the Atlantic coast and from the demand for salt and gold. The trade concessions on the coast generated tax revenue, while resources like salt and gold were in high demand from other empires. This allowed kingdoms to gain income and strengthen their rule through economic advantages from the Trans-Saharan trade network.

SECURITY IN WEST AFRICA PRESENTATION
West Africa is experiencing a surge in sophisticated transnational criminal activities like drug and human trafficking that threaten security. These criminal syndicates operate across borders along the Trans-Africa Highway using modern technology. Africa's weak security infrastructure and lack of capacity to support existing infrastructure pose challenges to addressing evolving threats. Major threats include terrorist groups, piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, political violence, and criminal activities that endanger critical industries like oil and gas. African governments and companies must work collaboratively to update security policies and share intelligence to effectively counter threats in the region.
