Book Description
Following the Second World war, South Africa claimed that the League of Nations mandate to administer Namibia had lapsed with the dissolution of that organization, and that it was within its power to annex it. It rejected UN efforts to have the territory placed under its trusteeship. This marked the beginning of the intractable dispute over the international status and independence of Namibia. This book analyses the role of the international community through the UN and other organizations in the search for a settlement. It gives attention to the efforts of the Western Contact Group and the people of Namibia themselves, and shows how conditions for a settlement ultimately emerged. Finally, it outlines Namibia's major post-independence challenges.

In Search Of Namibian Independence
Author: Geisa Maria Rocha
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429716664
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Focusing on the Namibian issue and how it has been handled in the United Nations since 1945, this book discusses the limitations of the UN as a political institution and assesses its ability to manage crises and control conflicts. The UN was established to help maintain international peace and security; since its founding, however, the independence and sovereignty of member states has come to take precedence over the organization's original goals. As a result, contends Ms. Rocha, the UN may be viewed as a passive arena where political actors pursue their policies and priorities in response to the larger realities and forces governing world politics. In the case of Namibia, the UN simply cannot take significant action in expelling the illegal South African administration without the support of the few powerful members who provide it with resources. She concludes that the liberation of Namibia rests ultimately with the Namibian people themselves and the ability of SWAPO to intensify its armed struggle, thereby causing South Africa to consider its presence in Namibia more a liability than an asset.
