The diamond certification scheme that works to prevent blood diamonds from conflict zones is called the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS). It is an international initiative that aims to regulate the trade of rough diamonds to ensure they are not used to finance rebel groups and conflict.
Canadian diamond mining companies are signatories to the certification process that assures against blood diamonds, which originate in African countries. The agreement is the Kimberly Process Certification.
A certified diamond is one that has been evaluated by a professional in whatever certification method is documented by the certificate. For example, the Gemological Institute of America -- GIA -- certifies diamonds by documenting the colour, clarity, cut and carat weight of the diamond. This establishes the individual characteristics of the gem. A non-certified diamond can only be evaluated according to the expertise of the person evaluating the diamond, and usually without certification. It's characteristics, therefore, are uncertain.

If you mean helping to solve the problem of blood diamonds, it's a consumer's responsibility to verify that a diamond is not a blood diamond, by demanding certification from the seller showing the provenance of the stone before purchasing it. Generally, the Kimberly Process is applied to stones mined in Africa. Stones mined in Australia, India, Brazil and Canada have certification processes that also verify that their diamonds are not 'blood diamonds'.
