It is less well known that eleven days prior to the Bandung Conference, a conference was convened in New Delhi that should be considered its unofficial counterpart. In sharp contrast to Bandung, which was not open to the public, the nongovernmental nature of the Delhi conference enabled thousands of people to attend. Officially known as the Conference of Asian Countries on the Relaxation of International Tension (CRIT), it was heavily influenced by the growing peace movement of the early Cold War years.1 Over the next five years, the Delhi gathering’s success in terms of attendance, *This article would not have been possible without the many discussions on 1950s internationalism within the “Afro-Asian Networks Collective.” Thanks also to the participants and organizers of the ICS workshop “India, China, and the Emergence of Post- War Post-Colonial Asia, 1945–50” in New Delhi; the staff of the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library; the LIAS History working group at Leiden; and the (Il)liberal Internationalisms workshop in Vienna, particularly Glenda Sluga and Natasha Wheatley.

    fir f t W-; ■ V DBD2/25 IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN MEDIA COUNCIL In the matter between «- END CONSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN Complainant ("ECC") and AIDA PARKER NEWSLETTER ("APN") Respondent MEMORANDUM Complaint by the End Conscription Campagin ("ECC") against the publication of the Aida Parker Newsletter ("APN") of April 8th 1986 (Issue No, 79), on the grounds as set out hereunder. 1. JURISDICTION APN is not a member publication of the NPU and has not become voluntary subject to the jurisdiction of the Council. Accordingly, the Council is requested to apply paragraphs 1.5 and 10,2 of its Constitution in order to deal with this complaint. Specifically, the Council is enjoined to request APN to submit itself to the Rules of Procedure of the South African Media council. THE COMPLAINT 2.1 A copy of the offending Issue No. 79 of APN is attached marked "A”. The "block" on the first page indicates that APN regards the issue of the ECC as so important that "... for this issue only, we lift all copyright. If you can use any of this material in any way, use it. The print order has been tripled and extra copies are available at Rl,00 each." The effects of this exhortation to republish have already been felt. There is evidence that the National Students Federation (NSF) has been distributing anti*-ECC material to headmasters of schools in Durban. These handouts contain material which emanates from APN Issue No. 79. In Port Elizabeth on Saturday the 3rd May an ECC church service was interfered with by members of an organisation who distributed pamphlets containing material emanating from AIN Issue No.
