The Committee on South African War Resistance (COSAWR), an organisation of exiled conscientious objectors, pacifists, anti-militarists and deserters from the SADF, was formed in the aftermath of South Africa’s invasion of Angola in 1975 and the Soweto uprising the following year. Its aim was to raise international awareness about the role of the SADF and to provide support to objectors in exile.
