The 24th Triennial Congress of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, 14-25 July, 1989 in Sydney, Australia:
WILPF has followed with sympathy the long Namibian struggle for peace and freedom from colonial domination and scourge of apartheid. The struggle for liberation has left many wounds.

A demilitarization of the country will no doubt have a decisive impact on the building of a democratic, free and independent Namibia. The UN should guarantee this through the establishment of a UN force on the border between South Africa and Namibia and between Namibia and Angola.
