On the 26 January 1994, Angela E. V. King, Chief of Mission for UNOMSA (United Nations Observer Mission to South Africa), presented a paper at a Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation seminar. King gave an overview of how the UN perceived the context in which the South African elections were being run in, and what logistics they faced. The following is an edited version of King's paper.
