UN Lifts Ban On Diamond Imports From Ivory Coast

     A unanimous decision made by the U.N. Security Council lifts the ban on importing rough diamonds from the Ivory Coast. They explained that the Kimberly Process recognized that Ivory Coast has fulfilled its diamond certification's minimum requirements. Ivory Coast has been smuggling and illegally dealing diamonds as well as gold and oil which has caused millions of dollars to be lost. The lift of the ban is to hopefully dismantle the illegal taxation efforts and make trade safer.
