South African resistance to war: Difference between revisions

The first known conscientious objectors in South Africa were English, Scottish, and Irishmen who were disillusioned by the atrocities committed against [[Boer]] women and children kept in the Concentration Camps.<ref>http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LizzieVanZyl.jpg</ref> Those who based their objection to war either on grounds of the rejection of a particular system, such as the [[Apartheid]] State, or doctrines that exclude war based upon illegal means. The [[End Conscription Campaign]] was an organisation active from 1983-1994, that for the most part, pursued the notion of objection to war based upon [[freedom of conscience]].
