"..... I am also here today as a representative of the
millions of people across the globe, the anti-apartheid
movement , the governments and organisations that
joined with us, not to fight against South Africa as a country
or any of its peoples, but to oppose an inhuman system and
sue for a speedy end to the apartheid crime against humanity."
[ Acceptance speech of the president
of the African National Congress, Nelson Mandela, at the Nobel
Peace Prize Award Ceremony:
Oslo, Norway.
December 10, 1993.]
