Title: Searching for Solutions to Internal Conflicts: The Role of the OAU
"Africa will maintain its relevance in the new world order only if it rises to the new challenges of the time and meet the expectations of the people. These challenges, of course, include the elimination of apartheid in South Africa, economic recovery, the furtherance of democratization and the establishment of viable institutions to consolidate this democracy as well as the promotion of human rights; but perhaps, above all, the management of that all embracing issue of intra-state conflicts and the establishment and maintenance of peace, security and stability on our continent."
