Nelson Mandela, Deputy President of the African National Congress of South Africa, raises his fist in the air while addressing the Special Committee Against Apartheid in the General Assembly Hall.

Apartheid consists of hundreds of laws that allow the ruling white minority in South Africa to segregate, exploit and terrorize the vast majority: Africans, mostly, but also Asians and Coloureds - people of mixed race. Under Apartheid, racist beliefs are enshrined in law and any criticism of the law is cruelly suppressed.
