Abstract
This chapter examines the reasoning behind the choice of particular peace and security norms at the advent of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) and the implications of these norms for the institutions of the OAU. When the OAU was created in 1963, African leaders chose norms that prioritised state security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; the complete liberation of the continent; and regional primacy. This chapter explores how the OAU Commission of Mediation, Conciliation, and Arbitration; Defence Commission; Liberation Committee; and African Group at the United Nations were constructed and utilised in line with OAU norms.
