Statement by H.E. Mr. Salim Ahmed Salim, Secretary General of the OAU to the Southern African Moot Court Competition in Harare, Zimbabwe.
"I wish to stress, however, that over and above the right to self-determination, the right to development and the right to peace and security, we should also place deserving emphasis on such traditional or classical civil and political rights as freedom of speech, freedom of association, the right to freedom of assembly, freedom of conscience, profession and free practice of religion, if we are to build and preserve hardy democratic cultures and institutions devoid of lack of tolerance, which constitutes in itself an eroding influence on democratic practice."
