Once you join Stop Blood Diamonds, you agree to be bound to the stipulations outlined below. All the actions stated should be carried out within 3 months of becoming a member.
Show your support for the Kimberly Process by writing a letter and sending it out to the World Diamond Council. More than stating your support, you should emphasize your desire for a regular and independent monitoring of the Kimberly Process. We request further that you furnish us with a copy of your letter to the World Diamond Council.
Express your desire for a steady supply of clean diamonds by writing and sending a letter to your representative. Along similar lines to the letter for the World Diamond Council, you should expressly state your intention of acquiring and selling only diamonds that are deemed clean. However, this cannot be ensured unless our country makes sure that the procedures and measures are properly enforced. This is what we want the legislators to know.
Provide your customers with accurate information regarding your diamonds. Believe it or not, there are still people out there who have not heard of blood diamonds. Some of them may have heard of blood diamonds in passing but they do not know enough about them. What you can do as a member of Stop Blood Diamonds is to empower your customers by providing them with the right information. Let them know about the practices of diamond mining and trading. Let them know about the measures set by the UN and individual countries. Yet let them also know that these measures, though perfect in theory, are not regularly and effective enforced. This only means that up to a certain point, there is no sure way of knowing whether or not a diamond is clean. This will emphasize the need for effective and continuous campaign against blood diamonds and for measures to be strictly employed.
We also ask that, as a dedicated member of Stop Blood Diamonds, you renew your pledge to campaign against blood diamonds every year. All over the world, efforts are being made to free our market of blood diamonds. With a concerted effort, we hope to be able to eliminate these horrible things in a few years.
