[Jewelry making - Article 00019] - [Orchid] Dirty gold, Conflict diamonds - Global Ethics?

    So, I am wondering, with all of the discussions about dirty gold and
    conflict diamonds, and the discussion about gem disclosure, and how
    different countries have different cultures and customs, do you
    think that there will be a developing global ethics that will relate
    to the developing global economy? 

    What would be the benefit if other countries started using the trade
    practices and consumer protection we use in the U.S., and what would
    be detrimental to other countries to have similar trade practices
    and consumer protection? 

    What is the difference between consumer protection laws in Asia, and
    in Europe, and does it change much from country to country is Europe?
