Kimberley Process debate on Zimbabwe diamonds
Jun 21st, 2010 by Katie
Back in November we reported on the Avaaz campaign to stop the Kimberley Process certifying Zimbabwe diamonds as ‘conflict-free’.
NGOs have threatened to leave the KP if it fails to sever ties with Zimbabwe in the face of ongoing human rights abuses.
Today delegates from the KP are meeting in Israel and will decide whether to suspend Zimbabwe’s membership.
