THE KIMBERLEY PROCESS CERTIFICATION SCHEME (KPCS): COMBATING CONFLICT DIAMONDS IN GLOBAL TRADE

The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) represents one of the most significant international initiatives aimed at eliminating conflict diamonds from the global diamond trade. Established in 2003 based on United Nations General Assembly Resolution 55/56, the KPCS fundamentally transformed the diamond industry by implementing a comprehensive certification system designed to prevent rough diamonds from financing armed conflicts against legitimate governments. This article examines the history, structure, effectiveness, and ongoing challenges of the Kimberley Process, analyzing its impact on global diamond trade and its role in ensuring peace and security.

Abstract

The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) represents one of the most significant international initiatives aimed at eliminating conflict diamonds from the global diamond trade. Established in 2003 based on United Nations General Assembly Resolution 55/56, the KPCS fundamentally transformed the diamond industry by implementing a comprehensive certification system designed to prevent rough diamonds from financing armed conflicts against legitimate governments. This article examines the history, structure, effectiveness, and ongoing challenges of the Kimberley Process, analyzing its impact on global diamond trade and its role in ensuring peace and security.
