Q&A with Antonio Carlos Sumbula, Chairman of Endiama

摘要

Q. Should the Kimberley Process be redefined to include potential human rights problems regarding the treatment of diamond prospectors, now that trafficking of conflict diamonds has essentially ceased? A. I don't think we need to redefine it; instead I think we should explain that the Kimberley Process is so strong and sustainable that diamonds are now all clean. We could talk about the rights of the prospectors, but that has nothing to do with the existence of blood diamonds, it is instead about human rights violations. Nevertheless, we might need to keep explaining what the Kimberley Process is, so that people understand it better.
