The Rapaport Diamond Trading Network, an overseas-based global network of companies that supports the development of free, fair and competitive global diamond markets, announced yesterday it had banned trading of diamonds from Zimbabwe’s Marange fields because of severe human rights violations. Members of RapNet would be required to immediately remove all listings of Marange diamonds and to confirm to the trading network that they would no longer knowingly trade in Marange diamonds, writes Business Day.
