The diamond industry is failing to deliver on its promises to keep conflict diamonds out of the legitimate trade and appears more worried about heading off bad publicity...than meeting its pledges to the international community... “The diamond industry is paying little more than lip-service to the system of self-regulation, launched three years ago, which is intended to help stop diamonds from funding civil wars,” said Corinna Gilfillan of Global Witness... Global Witness investigations have shown that elements of the diamond industry continue to trade in conflict and illicit diamonds, while the rest of the industry turns a blind eye.
