The World Campaign Against Military and Nuclear Collaboration with South Africa started in 1979 on the initiative of the Anti-Apartheid Movement [United Kingdom] and the patronage of President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania. The organization was based in Norway but worked closely with the Anti-Apartheid Movement. In November 1977 the United Nations Security Council adopted a mandatory arms embargo against South Africa. The World Campaign monitored and worked to strengthen the arms embargo against South Africa. The World Campaign exposed military collaborations and was a main source of information to the Security Council Committee on violations of the arms embargo. In the 1980s, it lobbied for expulsion of South Africa from the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA). Abdul Minty, who was Honorable Secretary of the Anti-Apartheid Movement, was the Director of the World Campaign from 1979 to 1994. (Source: Nelson Mandela Foundation and
