 Anti-apartheid activist who wants the United Nations to investigate the murder of his friend Anton Lubowski | |

Charles Courtney-Clarke is a Namibian fisheries economist and political activist who was closely involved in the transition to independence from apartheid South African rule of South West Africa (Namibia) in March 1990.[1]
Charles Courtney-Clarke was an associate of Anton Lubowski, secretary-general of South West Africa People's Organisation, who was assassinated in Windhoek by South Africa's Civil Cooperation Bureau on 12 September 1989 (when Namibia was under the control of the United Nations Transition Assistance Group).[2] The Lubowski murder trial in April 1990 - the month after Namibia achieved its independence - was inconclusive and, in January 2014, Charles Courtney-Clarke applied to the United Nations to have the proceedings re-opened.[3]
Cold-blooded murder
The shuffling by the police and the Prosecutor-General Hans Heyman in the handling of the murder case was reason for Justice A.J. Mohamed at the 1st inquest into Lubowski’s murder to raise a reminder in the course of his judgment that:
- "the murder of Adv Lubowski is a matter of very fundamental public importance. ..... His cold-blooded murder is a very serious matter. ..... The vigorous prosecution of whoever might have been responsible for this deed is clearly..... crucial to the administration and the image of Justice in Namibia. That image and that interest might prejudicially be impaired if there ever follows a perception in the public (legitimate or otherwise), that justice was defeated by procedural complexities, by legal stratagems, by tactical manoeuvres or by any improper collusion. The general community of Namibia must be able to feel that every permissible avenue to pursue the prosecution of whoever might be the killer of Mr Lubowski was followed."
The affairs of state, police, prosecution and judiciary, are so deeply manipulated by the key economic beneficiaries to the wealth of the nation - inclusive of South Africa, England and the USA - that they've now got the masses bringing down their governments - very much to their advantage to advance the creation of their "Corporate Feudal System" - my term. Be on the right side!!!
Application to the United Nations
In October 2014, Charles Courtney-Clarke created a public private forum "establishing an economic equilibrium between the key financial beneficiaries to the wealth of the country and the government". The website recorded that an application was submitted to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to compel the investigation into the unsolved crimes against humanity committed by the South African Apartheid Government during the Namibian independence process supervised by the United Nations Transition Assistance Group (UNTAG), between April 1989 to March 1990, in terms of UN Security Council Resolution 435 (1978).
- Declaration and Demand, dated 25th January 2014, is submitted to the United Nations to investigate the crimes mentioned below, after having exhausted local legal remedies to have them investigated and the planners/perpetrators prosecuted in South Africa and Namibia are:
- 1) Bombing of the UN office in Outjo, Namibia.
- 2) The capture and escape of the perpetrators of the bombing.
- 3) The murder of Adv Anton Lubowski.
- In the interim a public request to the UN to determine the existence and integrity of the police dockets of these crimes in the custody of the local Namibian authorities.
- As a result of the failure of the respective authorities to act and dispense justice in Namibia, South Africa and Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom, this website will serve to communicate the on-going demands to International Institutions and governments to dispense Social and Economic Justice.[4]
