South Africa Defies ICJ Ruling On South West Africa Exit
The International Court of Justice urged South Africa to end its 50 year occupation of South West Africa but Pretoria announced it would not withdraw its administration. Prime Minister Verster described the ruling as political vendetta while the U.N. General Assembly previously criticized the mandate. The advisory decision leaves enforcement to the U.N. Security Council and international pressure.
