Landis' testimony includes basic information about Namibia, Namibia's natural resources (diamonds, uranium, and fish), its legal status and the role of the United Nations, the liberation movement (South West Africa Peoples Organization, or SWAPO), and detentions and torture being carried out under South African rule. She provides recommendations for U.S. policy, including full compliance with the International Court's Advisory Opinion on Namibia; withdrawal, or at least discouragement, of American investment in Namibia; recasting immigration policy as to refugees from southern Africa; and support for Namibia at the United Nations.
