Secretary-General Visits Reception Centre for Namibian Returnees

"Over five thousand United Nations soldiers and civilians have been dispatched to Namibia to ease that country's long-delayed transition to independence. Under the direction of the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Namibia, the United Nations Transition Assistance Group (UNTAG) is helping to implement the Namibian independence plan, which among other things provides for the Territory's demilitarization, the abolition of all discriminatory and restrictive laws, and free and fair elections to a national constituent assembly.
