I, IN RHODESIA PROFESSOR BEN COCKRAM SMUTS HOUSE UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND JOHANNESBURG November, 1965 U. D» I. IN RHODESIA £he text of an address given to the Natal Branch of the South African Institute of International Affairs at Natal University, Durban, by Professor 3. Cockram, Jan Smuts Professor of International Relations, University of the Witwatersrand, on the 30th November, 1965 THE BRITISH BACKGROUND 1. The Dichotomy of British Colonial Policy How is it that British policy towards Rhodesia has reached a point where less than 250,000 whites have been driven in despair to face a nation of 50,000,000, and when, as if these odds were not sufficient, Britain has invoked the backing of the 110 member states of the United Nations? The explanation lies, I believe, in a fundamental dichotomy which has characterised British colonial policy since the 18th century. It may be possible to go further back, but I have always traced it myself to the appointment in 1763 of two superintendents for the (Red) Indians, one north, one south of the Ohio River, and the drawing of a boundary line along the Appallachian Mountains, west of which no white settlements were to be permitted. Trade with the Indians was to be regulated, Indian lands were no longer to be exchanged for guns, firewater or trinkets, and the Indians were to be secure in their hunting grounds. British- troops were to remain in North'America to keep the peace between the colonists and the Indians.

The 20th century stands out among this history as a time of experimentation not only in methods of warfare, but in modes to redress the causes and the perpetrators of war crimes. Otherwise known as crimes against humanity, these acts were first named, outlawed, and punished in the legal documents of the first half of the last century. They culminated in the halls of Nuremberg and the United Nations with the recognition of the crime of genocide, and the pledge that such acts would ‘never again’ plague humanity.

    The Influence of Libyan Intervention on the Duration of the Darfur Crisis

The purpose of this study is to address the gaps and contradictions in the related literature. This study achieves this purpose by investigating the factors that drive the duration of intrastate conflicts, and understand why and how the duration of such conflicts may be affected by the role of regional third-party interveners. It focuses primarily on understanding the factors underlying the duration of the Darfur crisis in Sudan by analysing the Gaddafi regime’s role in that crisis during the 2003–11 period. This dissertation investigates the association between the long duration of the crisis and Libyan involvement as a major regional third party, as a form of crisis management and as an aspect of the international management of internal conflicts.
