Abstract: The International Conference on Children, Repression and the Law in Apartheid South Africa was held in Harare, Zimbabwe, from 24-27 September 1987, under the auspices of the Bishop Ambrose Reeves Trust, and was convened by the Rt. Revd. Trevor Huddleston C.R. The conference sought to analyse the problems facing children in apartheid South Africa, expose the full extent of these problems, achieve an understanding of their difficulties and focus international attention on the crisis confronting the youth. The central issues were the State of Emergency, the arrest and detention of children and children's role in the struggle against apartheid.
