National Convention (Namibia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Convention was formed when the International Court of Justice ruled, in 1971, that South African rule in Namibia was illegal. After the ruling, various pro-independence groups and parties, including the South West Africa National Union (SWANU), the South West Africa Peoples Organization (SWAPO) and the National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO) formed the National Convention as a united front against South African rule.[1]
