PteX;3639512]Oh the idiocy. I mean if you were actually intelligent, rather than just arguing with nothing but ignorant lies, then maybe debating with you would be possible...
Ouch must have hurt all of sudden name calling and insults and even after that best you can do is deny the truth.
The Kimberley Process went into effect on 1.1.2003 and Israel was the first country to issue a certificate. The Kimberley Process forum meets every year, in a different country, and discusses the issues related to strengthening and updating the controls over conflict diamonds. In 2010, Israel holds the position of Chair of the Kimberley Process, and this year, the Kimberley Process conferences are being held in Israel.
Efforts to Control
Public outcry about diamond-fueled violence has led to the establishment of the Kimberley Process, an international diamond certification scheme. Unfortunately, the Kimberley Process misleads consumers and does not even attempt to stop the worst abuses in diamond mining.
The Kimberley Process
The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme is an international diamond certification system established in 2003. It focuses exclusively on stopping the trade in conflict diamonds defined by the Kimberley Process as diamonds that finance rebel movements seeking to overthrow national governments. The Kimberley Process is made up of 75 member countries and includes participation from advocacy organizations and the diamond industry.
In theory, Kimberley Process member countries do not produce conflict diamonds, and they trade diamonds only with each other. All member countries must also attach Kimberley Process certificates to their diamond exports. By these arrangements, it is hoped that conflict diamonds will be kept out of the certified diamond supply. Regrettably, however, the Kimberley Process is easily evaded by diamond smugglers. Worst of all, it is so limited in scope that it grants "conflict free" certification to diamonds mined in violent and inhumane settings.
Certifying Unethical Diamonds
Under the Kimberley Process, if a diamond has not funded the rebel side of a civil war, it is not considered a conflict diamond. The narrowness of this definition means that a diamond receiving Kimberley Process certification may still be tied to killings, beatings, rape, and torture by a government army. It may have been mined using child labor, or by adults earning a dollar a day. It may have destroyed the local environment where it was mined.
The Kimberley Process, in short, does very little to stop violence, worker exploitation, and environmental degradation tied to diamond mining or most of the pressing ethical problems facing the diamond industry today. Some observers even believe that the Kimberley Process may be doing harm. By certifying unethically mined diamonds, the Kimberley Process shields human rights abusers. It also misleads consumers into believing that their diamonds come from certified ethical sources when in fact, many diamonds approved by the Kimberley Process cause untold human suffering.
And the last time i checked the President of Nigeria was Christian and Nigeria was NOT a Muslim country.
