(Janine Roberts 2006)

Acts like the Kimberley process are presumed to guarantee that the diamonds that people buy have not been related to the killing and mutilating of children from a South African country. However, as most critics state, the certification alone is not enough to guarantee such a thing. The process of providing guarantees that the diamonds have not been mined by rebels needs to be much more complex. (Dick Durham 2001)

South Africa is considered to play a vital role in the diamond smuggling business from the African continent. Consequent to their mining, the diamonds are being smuggled through several African countries.
One of the last steps in the smuggling process involves the diamonds being taken to South Africa and certified as having been mined elsewhere than from a conflict country.

Over the ages, the beauty of diamonds has filled the lives of people with happiness. However, little of the people owning such diamonds had been aware of the processes through which their diamonds have been mined. Actions need to be taken in order to insure the fact that diamonds actually have background from where blood spilling is absent.
