Statement at the Meeting on Cooperation between the UN System and the OAU

"Our two Organisations are also presently involved in supporting peaceful political transition in the continent. Our Organisations have been associated with the observation and monitoring of elections in Member States. On some occasions, like in South Africa, and Mozambique and other cases, we have been able to work together. We should be able to draw lessons from these experiences with a view to putting in place a more permanent and viable framework for future cooperation in this area." - Dr. Salim, November 6, 1995
