Description

In the late 1960s, under a Labour government, British Nuclear Fuels signed long-term contracts with Rio Tinto-Zinc (RTZ) for uranium from Namibia. The first supplies were to be delivered in 1977. The deal flouted UN Security Council resolutions asking member states not to collaborate with South Africa’s illegal administration. This leaflet was produced by the Campaign Against the Namibian Uranium Contract (CANUC), set up by the AAM, the Namibia Support Committee and the Haslemere Group.
