Conflict Diamonds: Crossing European borders?

A Case Study of Belgium, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands

This report seeks to examine the capacity of three EU Member states: Belgium, the Netherlands, and the UK, to use a certification system to check the origin of diamonds imported. Governments and the diamond industry have come under pressure to stamp out the trade in "conflict diamonds" -diamonds which are traded in order to raise funds to finance civil wars in Africa.
