§ 69. Sir John Osbornasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the United Nations Institute for Namibia is recognised by the Government as a legal agency of the United Nations.
§ Mr. RifkindThe United Nations Institute for Namibia was established by the United Nations Council for Namibia with the agreement of the United Nations General Assembly. Although we do not recognise the council's claim to be the administering authority of Namibia we accept that in other respects it is a subsidiary organ of the United Nations General Assembly. We regard its establishment of UNIN as proper. We have supported UNIN's work as benefiting a future independent Namibia.
