This special note from the United Nations' Unit on Apartheid details the Freedom Charter of South Africa. The booklet is four pages long. The title page features the United Nations logo in the top left corner inside of a grey header that extends the width of the page. The title is also printed inside this header and reads: [UNIT ON APARTHEID / DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL AND SECURITY COUNCIL AFFAIRS]. Typed text fills the rest of the page. The back of each page is blank. Apartheid, a system of institutionalised racial segregation, existed in South Africa and South West Africa (now Namibia) from 1948 until the early 1990s.
