NamibiaPDF- independence Create! 5 Trial in 1989 Chester Cracker, architect of the US Policy since 1980 of 'constructive engagement in Southern Africa, is of appeasing Pretoria in order to extend US influence especially in Angola, is walking off with the media plaudits. The commentators gave him the credit for the S eneva agreement on a timetable for the withdrawal of Cuban too ps from Angola. What is the reality? The FAPLAs (Angolan armed forces) and Cuban internationalists gave Pretoria a bloody noew in early 1988, proving that no military victory could be achieved in Angola. For P W ftha to continue the war now would mean to lose more white soldiee. and mere planes - ireplaceable because of the arms embargo. The People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN), aimed wing of SWAPO, has sho a tenacity which has constantly stretched the occupying forces and upped the cost of the illegal occupation. Speculation of a South African debt default in 1989 is rift in tha City. The Botha regime is staggering under the impact of the combined effects of sanctions, disinvement, and the costs of sustaining the regional war, the occupation of Namibia, and the top-heavy apparatus of apartheid and repression in South Africa. As Anti-Apartheid News goes to press, South Africa has not yet endorsed the agreement reached between officials in Geneva. The Pretoria regime now has to weigh two unappetsing options. Either they can approve the Geneva deal, accept a new UN Security Council decision on a date for Namibia's independence, allow in the UN Transitions Assistance Group (U NTAG). and proceed to Namibia's independence late in 1989. The predictable outcome is a SWAPO victory in the 5Nsupervised elections, and the rapid disintegration of Unite as a mitrry surrogate for Pretoria's armed forces. Or they can reject the Geneva deal, continue the occupation of Namibia and the war in Angola by supporting Unite, risk much tougher international sanctions, and be forced to default on the foreign debt whose repayment is already obliging Pretoria to run gold stocks dangerously low. If Pretoria new goes for the first option, it will hope to salvage from the wreckage of its dream of regional domination ewe consolatioe prizes. In Namibia, by spending lavishly on the election campaign of the puppet groups, and sabotaging wherever possible SWAPS's campaign, it will seek to deny SWAPO an outright victory. Internationally, it will press its western allies to put a freeze on sanctions, or batter, get the US and EC measures withdrawn, and seek to renegotiate its debt on easy terms, RES 435 IN PRACTICE Initially, a formal ceasefire between South African forces and SWAPO will need to be signed. The sequence thereafter is laid down in the plan Which was adopted by the UN Secarity Council in resolution 435, as follows: Date X (still to be agreed) for start of implementation: SN Special Representative (UNSR) arrives with civilian and military staff. UNTAG forces (ultimately to reach strength of 7,500) to begin to daploy in Namibia, and to emitor policn forces. Release of political prisoners to comemenc. Two weeks after ceasefira: Demilitarised zone (DMZ) 50km en either side of the Namibia/ Angola and Namibia/Zambia borders to be esteblished, Within sic weeks of date X: South African forces to be reduced to 12,000. Within nine weeks; South African forces raduced to 8,000. Completion of release of political prisoners. Within 12 weeks: South African forces reduced to 1,500 and restricted to two bases Start of week 13: Official election campaign to start and ran for about four months.

Thomas Hood. As we grow older our memories become more precious to us, and most vivi dly we recall the turbulent years of our adolescence, our hopes and fea rs, our loves and hates, our triumphs and our failures. Memories of school days at Michaelhouse are unique for each individual, b ut the photographs and stories in this book, reflecting each decade of th e school's hundred years, will, we hope, evoke for every old boy a pleasa nt feeling of nostalgia. Each reader can people the familiar places with his own contemporaries and the staff of his day. Yesterday evening, Sunday 14th May, 1995, I was roaming around the estat e. Autumn leaves carpeted the ground and the setting sun bathed the vall ey in a romantic rosy glow. I felt nostalgic. As I passed by the chapel I thought of Charles Hannah making his annual visit and hopefully 'final ' farewell sermon. None of us cared to hear for the umpteenth time the o ld man's reminiscences, including how he had walked round the Oval with Canon Todd deciding where each tree was to be planted. Passing through t he passage way, where the staff nowadays collect their post from their p igeonholes, I remember it as the entrance hall of the Rectory, and I rec all dinner parties in these rooms which are now offices, Fred and Margar et Snell our gracious hosts.

This system was succeeded by the International Trusteeship System of the United Nations Organisation. South Africa is the only one of the former Mandatory Powers which refused to submit a Trusteeship Agreement for its Mandated Territory, and thus to bring it under the general supervision of the General Assembly of the United Nations. For fourteen years, therefore, the Mandate over South West Africa has been discussed in the United Nations. During that time the International Court ofJustice has given an advisory opinion and two supplementary opinions defining South Africa's obligations concerning the Territory, and South Africa has not complied with them.

  • The Law of Public Consultation in Regulatory And
    THE LAW OF PUBLIC CONSULTATION IN REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE PROCESSES IN THE UNITED STATES, UNITED KINGDOM AND THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA By Živilė Stubrytė Submitted to Central European University Department of Legal Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of CEU eTD Collection Doctor of Juridical Science Supervisor: Professor Michael Hamilton Budapest, Hungary 2014 The dissertation contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions and no materials previously written and/or published by another person unless otherwise acknowledged. s/Živilė Stubrytė CEU eTD Collection 2 ABSTRACT The thesis seeks to determine the effects of the role of law when framing the opportunities for public consultation in government policy and decision-making. The focus is to examine how requirements for decision-makers to hold public consultation enable meaningful participation by interested individuals in decision-making processes leading to a more responsive, professional and less intrusive regulatory government. The first chapter provides a detailed account of theories of deliberative and participatory democracy, which advocate for transformation of representative institutions. It concludes with an observation that it is worth investigating the existing consultative opportunities in decision-making processes in order to determine whether such transformations are necessary. The second chapter investigates the developments of law of public consultation taking as a benchmark the criteria for ideal participation and deliberation. The results of the analysis reveal that the nature and scope of consultative obligations are predetermined on such factors as the subject matter and the impact of the decision on an individual or the public in general.

    NEWS SL"AMARY ON RHODESIA NEWS SL"AMARY ON RHODESIA National Student Christian Federation Committee on Southern Africa 475 Riverside Drive, Room 754, New-York, New York 10027 NOVEMBER 28: Rouan Catholic Church- speaks out: The strongest church attack on the Smith regime was issued by the Roman Catholic church in a pastoral letter distributed after the services today. It called attention to the dangers of-placing nationalism, race, or economics above'a basic concern for man. It refuted the idea that white silence has neant consent, Rather the silence is a silence of "fear, disappointment, and hopelessness". It condemned Smith for declaring independence and said that the country's racial policies were just asking for trouble. There are- 23,000 white Catholics, 304,000 black Catholics and 4,000 of mixed blood., Other churchmen, have also spoken out. However, in spite of the strong opposition expressed by the Anglican Archbishop of Salisbury, the Anglican church is very divided in its response to U.D.I. British Troops for Zambia: Zambia has &&ked Britian for troops to protect the Kariba dam and is preparing a course of action if Britian refuses. Kaunda called a special cabinet meeting to lay out such plans. However, they will probably not be necessary. Malcolm MacDonald is back in Britian and met with Wilson. MacDonald was expected to analyse the reality of Zambia's statement that it would seek aid elsewhere if Britian refused to act. MacDonald a13o has influence in Conservative circles which could be extremely important in getting their support for a British force in Zambia.

Only the Attoraey-General, Sir Peter Rawlinson.can decide whether Powell should be prosecuted. The Surrey AAM claims that Powell's aeech was intended to create hatred b. tween different sections of the community here'. Their secretary, David Oldham, stated that they understood Powell to have said that he wanted to send only coloured people back to where they had come from. I' Heis saying nothing about the Americans the Canadians, the Australians and the other white immigrants who come here', he pointed out. David Oldham said that Powell's speech had to be viewed in the context of a situation where unemployment was heading for Ithe one million mark, where there was industrial unrest resulting from'the government's Industrial Relations Bill, and where the government was .intending to send arms to South Africa, and to do a deal with the Smith regime. All these tended to heighten racial tension, he stated. The Sutton branch of the Anti-Apartheid Movement had mounted a picket for Poweil's Carslsallon speech. The 200 people on the picket included members of the local Labonr, Liberal and Communist parties, local trade unionists and churchmen. About so members of the National Front were on the opposite side of the road.
