Namibia
The Sacred Trust of Civilization - Ideal and Reality
Volume II
by Bryan O’Linn
Retired Judge Bryan O’Linn launched a revised edition of his 2003 book “Namibia: the Sacred Trust of Civilization – Ideal and Reality” as well as a new, second volume under the same title, in July 2010. In the two books, O’Linn – now 82, and a giant on the Namibian legal scene over the past fifty years – offers his take on Namibia’s history since it was made a mandate territory under the League of Nations, the country’s struggle for independence, his role in high-profile political trials during this period, and finally his views on some topical national issues that arose after independence. In the second volume, topics tackled by O’Linn include attacks on Namibia’s judiciary, his involvement in Commissions of Enquiry that he chaired after independence, as well as his critical thoughts on issues such as the current state of Namibia’s justice system, affirmative action, political intolerance and threats to Namibia’s democracy. The Namibian, 16 July 2010
