Rhodesia was also excluded for the same reason. (South Africa was first excluded in 1970 and Rhodesia in 1971.) South Africans are still free to play as individuals in major tennis tournaments all over the world. The Star, weekly edition, Johannesburg, January 23, 1971. ISMUN Southern Africa campaign The International Student Movement for the United Nations (41 rue de Zurich, 1201 Geneva)odecided at its general conference in Kampala, Uganda, in 1969 to launch a Southern Africa campaign to support "the liberation movements recognized by the Organization of African Unity against the oppressive regimes which contravene the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Charter". Since then the ISMUN and the national U.N. Students' Associations have intensified their activities in this field. ISMUN, jointly with the International University Exchange Fund, is producing "Southern Africa kits" for wide distribution through its national affiliates. The United Nations Unit on Apartheid has provided assistance. ISMUN and a number of its affiliates have strongly condemned any supply of arms to South Africa. The Southern Africa campaign and the International Year for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination feature on the agenda of the next ISMUN general conference at Elsinor, Denmark, in April 1971. - 2 World Council of Churches reaffirms support for programme to combat racism At its meeting in Addis Ababa in January 1971, the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches decided by 84 votes to none, with 3 abstentions, to endorse the decision of the Executive Committee last year to make grants of nearly $200,000 to liberation movements and other organizations opposed to racism. It authorized the Executive Committee to make further grants of $95,000, mainly for discussions on future anti-racism strategy, and appealed for more contributions to its special fund to combat racism. The Central Committee declared that "the churches have always to stand for the liberation of the oppressed". It called attention to the fact that "violence is in many cases inherent in the maintenance of the status quo" and called for a study of ways to prevent the use of violence by those sustaining the status quo when confronted by non-violent actions and demonstrations. Though the W.C.C. does not and cannot identify itself completely with any political movement, it declared, it does not pass judgment on "those victims of racism who are persuaded that violence is the only way left to them to redress grievances and open the way for a new and more just social order". In another resolution, it declared: .The Central Committee calls upon Member Churches to discourage their Governments and industrial and commercial enterprises from supporting schemes like the Cabora Bassa Dam and other such projects which entrench racist and colonial minority regimes in Africa; and also to educate their members and to warn the wider public of the threat that such schemes pose for world peace... "The Central Committee calls upon its Member Churches in those countries which are selling arms to racist and colonial regimes in Africa to urge their Governments to stop this trade." - 3 I.C.F.T.U. calls for action to suppart arms embargo against South Africa The Executive Board of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, at its 51st meeting in Brussels from December 8 to 10, 1970, adopted the following resolution: "REAFFIRMING its longstanding policy in support of efforts aimed at the elimination of apartheid and the restoration of a rule of law and justice in South Africa in full recognition of the birthright of its majority peoples; "CONSIDERING the South African regime's increasing harshening of its laws depriving the African majority
