Zimbabwe's Blood Diamonds

Additional Information

The income from the sustainable extraction and export of minerals, precious metals and stones can bring huge benefit to communities in poverty. There is significant doubt that income from diamonds in the Marange field will contribute to sustainable economic and social development in Zimbabwe. If the allegations made by the BBC Panorama episode, and others, are true, there must be an immediate end to all diamond exports from Zimbabwe and an investigation of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court.

We would strongly urge the UK Government and European Union to:
(1) Lobby the Kimberley Process to reverse the decision made earlier this year to allow the export of diamonds from two mines in the Marange region.
(2) Lobby the Kimberley Process to instigate an urgent, thorough and independent investigation of the allegations made.
(3) Act decisively and rapidly on the findings of this investigation.
