Book Description
In 2017 it will be Australia’s turn to chair the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KP), an international organisation set up to regulate the trade in diamonds. Diamonds are a symbol of love, purchased to celebrate marriage, and it is therefore deeply ironic that the diamond trade has become linked with warfare and human rights violations committed in African producer countries such as Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of Congo and, more recently, Zimbabwe and Angola. In their quest for diamonds, or by using diamonds to purchase weapons, armed groups in these countries have engaged in recruiting child soldiers, amputating limbs, and committing rape and murder. In response to the problem, the international community, non-governmental organisations and key industry players such as De Beers combined forces to create the Kimberley Process in 2002. The KP uses an export certificate system to distinguish the legitimate rough diamond trade from so-called ‘blood diamonds’, which are also known as ‘conflict diamonds’. This book considers the extent to which the KP, supported by other agencies at the international and national levels, has been effective in achieving its mandate. In so doing, it presents an original model derived from the domain of regulatory theory, the Dual Networked Pyramid, as a means of describing the operation of the system and suggesting possible improvements that might be made to it.

Book Description
Diamonds are a symbol of love, purchased to celebrate marriage in many parts of the world. It is, therefore, a dark irony that the diamond trade has become linked with both warfare and human rights violations committed in African producer countries such as Sierra Leone and Angola. Graphic accounts of murder and mayhem, fuelled by the diamond black market, continue to emerge from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Zimbabwe, and Angola, posing an existential threat to the multi-billion dollar industry. These human rights violations fall under the legal categories of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, the most serious crimes under international law. In response to the grim reality of the blood diamonds trade, De Beers and other major corporate players joined with non-governmental organisations and national governments to create the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme in 2002. The objective of the Kimberley Process is to distinguish the legitimate rough diamond trade from the trade in diamonds linked to serious human rights abuses, known as 'conflict diamonds' or 'blood diamonds'. It involves a system of export and import certificates attesting to the 'clean' character of the rough diamonds traded, and is backed up by a peer review system to monitor compliance. The Kimberley Process has been supported through the regulatory action of national governments at the domestic level, as well as the United Nations Security Council and the International Criminal Court internationally.

That’s what I do not know.” In an Amazon jungle, a Lion, the Jungle King, has stopped roaring. He remains quiet as he ponders these questions, and will not roar again until he is satisfied. When the Lion cannot find the answers to his questions at home, he embarks on a journey of exploration. The development of the Lion’s journey provides a fresh observation on and a new approach to age-old questions… does God exist? who are we? what is faith for? are we in this world by mistake? why pray?Have you ever asked any of these questions? Join the Lion on his journey and discover his findings. …If you were the Lion, would you roar?

Book Description
The lion will roar! History is divided by great historical events. Recorded history is divided by the coming of Christ. Wars, depressions, and worldwide pandemics have defined history. The events of the last sixteen months have doubtlessly shaped our generation and the next. Nothing that has happened in history, aside from the coming of Christ, has shaped history like the events to come. The Lion's Roar will bring history to its inevitable conclusion. The Prophet Joel's, among others, prophecies of the Lion's Roar: The Lord will roar from Zion. and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and the heavens will tremble. But the Lord will be a refuge for his people. (Joel 3:16) This book will provide guidance about the Lion's Roar. This book is unique in that the story is told from the perspective of a grandfather telling his grandson about the coming roar. Following that section, you will be able to explore this subject through a detailed study of Scripture. Finally, you will be challenged to expect and respond to the Lion's Roar.
