Abstract

Not as “petitioners,” but rather as “honored guests”—that was how the former principal United Nations official dealing with apartheid in South Africa characterized NGOs during an interview in May, 1996.1 E. S. Reddy, a tough-minded Indian in the UN bureaucracy, ran the world organization’s Special Committee Against Apartheid from the time it was created in 1963 until his retirement in 1986, and in those two decades, he formed a virtual alliance with certain NGOs that constituted, in his own words, “one of the most significant movements in the 20th century” and one that eventually would lead to the collapse of the notorious apartheid system.2
