arm23. ‘Stop the Apartheid Bomb’

In 1979 South Africa conducted a secret nuclear test and it became clear that it was trying to develop a nuclear bomb. With the World Campaign against Military and Nuclear Collaboration with South Africa, the AAM launched an international campaign for the extension of the 1977 UN mandatory arms embargo to cover all forms of nuclear collaboration. This petition was widely circulated, including to all local Labour Parties and branches of the engineering workers union.
