Abstract: | The Western Sahara dispute has emphasised some of the shortcomings of the OAU which was, moreover, handicapped in its handling of the dispute by the intransigent attitudes of the disputing parties. Threats to cancel membership of the Organization if the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) was ever admitted were repeatedly made by Morocco and some of her allies. The SADR secured membership of the OAU in February, 1982, and the worst fears appear to have been confirmed. The author examines how the SADR was admitted to the OAU, and subsequently assesses the OAU's future prospects. Notes. |
