The full text of the advisory opinion, requested by the United Nations Security Council, has only just come to hand. Ireland voted for the resolution in the United Nations General Assembly in 1966 which terminated South Africa's mandate for South West Africa (Namibia). We, therefore, welcome the International Court's opinion that South Africa is under obligation to withdraw its administration from Namibia immediately.
