Trade in rhino horn has been banned globally since 1977 under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
根據「瀕臨絕種野生動植物國際貿易公約」（CITES），犀牛角貿易自1977年起便在全球遭到禁止。
In 2025, the Northern Cape High Court ruled in his favour, finding that horn from captive-bred white rhinos bred for conservation purposes could qualify for export certificates, subject to legal requirements.
2025年，北開普省高等法院做出對他有利的裁決，認定基於保育目的而圈養繁殖的白犀牛，其犀牛角在符合法律規定的情況下，具備取得出口證書的資格。
British NGO the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) in May called Diedericks’ lawsuit "a reckless gambit", saying it sought to circumvent the international ban on rhino horn trade and could increase demand, weaken enforcement and fuel illegal trafficking. (AFP)
英國非政府組織「環境調查協會」（EIA）5月間曾表示，迪德里克斯的這場訴訟是「魯莽的賭博」，指其試圖規避國際犀牛角貿易禁令，並可能增加需求、削弱執法，以及助長非法走私。（法新社）
