PROF DE KOKER
Mr Chairman, just the last matter and that is in respect of Mr Cassandra.  Mr Cassandra seems to be in a very unfortunate position as representative of the United Nations.  In that capacity he was injured in the attack while he was acting as an international observer to our country.  As a matter of fact, he appears to be the only international observer to South Africa during the run-up to the elections who was hurt in political violence.  He was informed of the proceedings informally by us and by Adv Mpshe's office too, but it seems, in International Law, as if informal notification is not sufficient to get the attendance and participation of a member of the United Nations.
	Now, I would like to leave his predicament to the Committee.  I was only instructed to argue on his behalf in August, so I have no instructions now, but I would like the Committee to consider his predicament.  Personally, he was very eager to participate and personally he made it clear that he has information which he would like to convey to the Committee, but formally he cannot do so as a representative of the United Nations unless approached formally and through our standing Commission at the United Nations.
