Fowler Report

Not to be confused with Indian Currency Committee (Fowler Committee).

The Fowler Report, released on March 14, 2000, is a United Nations report detailing how various companies, African and European governments, including that of Angola and the political wing of UNITA, violated the Lusaka Protocol as well as UN-imposed sanctions. Robert Fowler, Canada's ambassador to the United Nations, headed the commission that compiled the report,[1] which raised widespread international concern by highlighting the strong link between the illicit diamond trade and third world conflicts.[2]
