The report reveals that CAR’s biggest traders have purchased diamonds worth several million dollars without adequately investigating whether they financed armed groups responsible for summary executions, rape, enforced disappearances and widespread looting. The report, using  CAR as a case study  examines the diamond supply chain  looking beyond the conflict to human rights abuses in the artisanal mining sector and to other illegal and unethical practices in the diamond supply chain that cause or contribute to human rights abuses – such as smuggling and tax abuse.  aDiamonds, Natural Resources,Smuggling, Tax Abuse  uhttps://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/afr19/2494/2015/en/
