The diamond industry program designed to ensure that diamonds do not fund civil conflict or terrorism is called...

• A. The Kimberley Process
• B. Diamond Integrity Protocol
• C. Conflict-Free Diamonds Initiative
• D. Global Diamond Verification

Answer: (A)

This question tests your knowledge of the international system that certifies diamonds as conflict-free. The program is the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, an international framework that requires rough diamonds to be tracked from mine to export and to move only with a Kimberley Process certificate. Its goal is to prevent stones that fund civil conflict or terrorism from entering the legitimate market by restricting trade to conflict-free diamonds. It’s the widely recognized initiative involving governments, the diamond industry, and civil society. The other names are not the established designation used in the industry.
