We may be looking at the final chapter. The Kimberley Process certification scheme, once hailed as proof that governments, industries, and NGOs really can work together, seems to be disintegrating before our eyes...The immediate problem is that, after nine months of pretty disastrous leadership from Matthieu Yamba of the Democratic Republic of Congo, there is no one to take over the chairman’s position next year, after the United States' application to be the next chair was rejected because of its advocacy on Zimbabwe...And then there’s Zimbabwe, the issue which has paralyzed the KP for over two years...civil society seems to be slowly walking away from the Process...Even more significant, the World Diamond Council is starting to distance itself from the growing debacle...The only “leg of the KP stool” not currently expressing dissatisfaction with the scheme is the coalition of governments.
