By joining the initiative, you are committing to the principles and specific actions outlined in the "Canadian Jewellers for Conflict-free Diamonds Declaration". Actions must be completed within three months of joining. Actions, as outlined in the Declaration, include:

Advocating for an effective Kimberley Process by:
· sending a letter to the World Diamond Council (WDC) stating your support for the inclusion of regular, independent monitoring in the Kimberley Process. We also ask that you send a copy of your letter to One Sky.

Provide accurate information on conflict diamonds to consumers by:
· letting consumers know that because of a lack of regular, independent monitoring in the Kimberley Process, there is no guarantee that any diamonds are conflict-free.
· letting consumers who purchase diamonds advertised as Canadian know that without regular, independent monitoring of all national control systems even Canadian diamonds cannot be guaranteed as Canadian.
· refraining from distributing information that claims to guarantee that a diamond is "clean" or "conflict-free", or claims to guarantee the origin of a diamond until effective systems are put into place.

A yearly renewal of commitment
Events are constantly developing in efforts to end the trade in conflict diamonds. Next year on Valentine's Day, we will ask jewellers to renew their commitment to Canadian Jewellers for Conflict-free Diamonds. With the help of Canadian jewellers, we hope to ensure within two years that conflict diamonds can no longer be traded, and there will be no further need for the initiative.
