I wouldn’t be cool with using those diamonds because they belong to the people who were forced to mine them

well most of them are dead aren't they? Are we going to put them back into their coffins? Or, how are we planning on redistributing these?

Dead people can't own things, so that seems like an illogical conclusion, perhaps their estate or family? They didn't do the work, but they would arguably be most entitled to it.

They had families, so yes, that'd be a good place to start reparations.
