JNA 40th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL JNA 40周年专题报道 JNA September/October 2023 | 45 Third-generation diamantaire Stéphane Fischler played a major role in creating a supply chain of conflict-free diamonds, being actively involved in events that subsequently led to the creation of the Kimberley Process (KP) forum to eliminate “conflict diamonds” from the global trade as well as the World Diamond Council (WDC), the industry’s representative in the KP. In 1999, he was in contact with Canada’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), Ambassador Robert Fowler. Their initial meeting took place in Antwerp, followed by another meeting at the UN headquarters in New York. The industry proposed a certification system that became the KP and established WDC in 2000 in Antwerp in the presence of Ambassador Fowler and international dignitaries. Fischler was elected WDC chairman in 2017 and served in that capacity until May 2020. Throughout his term, he took up the cudgels for mining communities by working towards KP reform and striving to expand the scope and definition of “conflict diamonds.” “KP has made a well-known and important contribution to conflict prevention and resolution,” he observed. “One of its most hidden contributions is ongoing dialogue within the whole diamond supply chain. Though slow, the process has produced very beneficial changes on the ground. This is a critical asset that must be preserved and continuously encouraged.” Fischler is currently the chairman of the CIBJO Technological Committee and a member of the Board of Trustees at RESOLVE-Washington DC where he continues to be involved in the KP through the Diamond Development Initiative@ RESOLVE. He has also served as chairman of the Antwerp World Diamond Centre for three terms, secretary-general/treasurer of the International Diamond Manufacturers Association and chair of the International Diamond Council. 第三代钻石商Stéphane Fischler在创建无冲突钻石供应链的过程中发 挥了重要作用，他不但促成了金伯利进程论坛的建立，以消除全球贸 易中的“冲突钻石”，也推动了世界钻石委员会(WDC)的成立，作为金 伯利进程中的业界代表。在1999年，他与加拿大常驻联合国代表Robert Fowler 大使联系。他们在安特卫普举行了首次会议，随后又在纽约联合国总部举行了 另一次会议。该行业提出了一个认证制度(即后来的“金伯利进程”)，并于2000年 在Robert Fowler大使和国际政要的见证下，在安特卫普成立了WDC。 Fischler于2017年当选为WDC主席，并担任该职务至2020年5月。在整个任 期内，他大力捍卫护矿业，致力改革金伯利进程，并努力扩大“冲突钻石”的定义 范围。他说∶“金伯利进程为预防和解决冲突作出了重大的贡献。其中最不为人 知的贡献之一，是在整个钻石供应链中持续开展对话。尽管进展缓慢，但这过程 已取得实际成效。这是一项重要的资产，必须加以保护，且持续进行。” 目前，Fischler担任国际珠宝首饰联合会(CIBJO)技术委员会主席、RESOLVEWashington DC董事会成员，并通过钻石发展倡议@RESOLVE继续参与金伯利 进程。他还曾担任安特卫普世界钻石中心三届主席、国际钻石制造商协会秘书 长和司库，以及国际钻石理事会主席。 Stéphane Fischler brought the notion of fairness and social justice to the diamond trade through his tireless service at the World Diamond Council.
