Republic of the Congo and the Republic of South Africa (SAR) have vast diamond mines. Blood diamonds, as they are known, are exported illegally from war torn countries and used to fund civil wars, terrorism and rebel conflicts in Africa. Resulting in deaths of millions.

In 1990 human rights organizations started to work together to put an end for blood diamonds entering the market. 2002 Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KCPC) was created to control and regulate diamond market. Supporters of KCPC claim that 99.8% of diamonds on the market are now legal and are not used for illicit purposes. Meanwhile, critics claim that to be not true, because some diamonds are still smuggled out of the country and re-sold as legal diamonds.
