Special Report Transcript Episode 16, Section 3, Time 28:47

The ANC presented the Commission with the most detailed and honest report of all six parties. Central to its submission was the party’s understanding of its armed struggle. // The majority of the people of our country, oppressed as a colonised people, had as equal a right to self-determination and a right to engage in struggle to gain this right as did other colonised people. We, like these other peoples could and did engage in a just war. This is so Chairperson because the overwhelming majority of the actions carried out in the context of that just war of national liberation do not constitute gross violations of human rights within the meaning of the Act establishing and mandating the Commission.
