CHAPTER SIX

The United Nations Transition Assistance Group for Namibia

MEDIA EFFORTS by the United Nations Transistion Assistance Group (UNTAG) clarified the operation’s purpose and defused rumors and fears that would have otherwise threatened the successful execution of the mandate. This provides support for the hypotheses that regimes provide transparency (H1), and that transparency and self-transparency reduce unwarranted fears (H4 and H6). After discussing the conditions that led to UNTAG’s deployment, I then assess UNTAG’s mandate, operations, and the extent to which its considerable success relied on transparency. Information operations and the provision of transparency greatly assisted UNTAG, and without them, the hurdles it faced would have been much greater.
