The UN General Assembly on Tuesday adopted a resolution that acknowledges the successful role that the Kimberley Process, a mechanism aimed to prevent "conflict diamonds" from financing violence by rebel movements, has played in the last 17 years. The resolution says the Kimberley Process was successful in "stemming the flow of conflict diamonds and the valuable development impact it has had in improving the lives of many people dependent on the trade in diamonds."
