Alluvial diamond mining became more popular in country as many immigrated with hope to become rich. This led to an increasing amount of corruption within the government. Later a revolutionary group known as the RUF, attacked government installations. And later used conflict diamonds as a bargaining chip to gather weapons and supplies to keep the war going. This eventually ended with the Kimberley process.

Companies have a responsibility to not contribute to human rights violations. To do this, they need to have due diligence safeguards in place to identify and respond to human rights risks throughout their supply chain.Yet, many companies do not live up to these standards. Human Rights Watch recently scrutinized the diamond sourcing practices of 13 leading jewelry and watch brands.The organization found that many companies don’t know where their gold and diamonds come from, and don’t do enough to assess human rights risks. In addition, jewelry and watch companies often publish limited information on how they address human rights risks in their supply chains.
