🤩 Erase the Blood from a Diamond? [2/3] Let's continue the series of articles on the Kimberley Process. In today's focus are its problems and breaches. 👉 The main problem is the states. They verify the origin of the diamonds and issue certificates. So, if there is a "blood diamond" in your hands, just find in your country (or in a neighboring country) a corrupt official who will give the necessary certificate and the diamond will magically become "ethically clean". 👉 In addition, only rough diamonds are checked. Polishing or cutting a diamond will be enough for the Kimberley not to apply, and the trade in brilliants is, in its turn, almost not controlled. 👉 Finally, the Kimberley only fights against the financing of rebel groups, but not against dangerous working conditions or violations of human rights. — These issues are well known and the global community has been trying for a long time to fix the system. We'll talk about it next time. Devils Below
