Malcolm Harper worked as a lay Personal Assistant for Archbishop  Joost de Blank of Cape Town, South Africa, for 13 months in 1961-62. He  returned to the United Kingdom as a staunch opponent of the apartheid  system and determined to work for international peace and justice. He  joined the staff of OXFAM and worked with them for 18 years, including  almost three years based in East Africa as the regional Field Director,  when he visited Uganda many times, and 8 months in Cambodia shortly  after the liberation of the country from the Pol Pot era killing fields.   From 1982 until his retirement in 2004, Malcolm acted as Director of  the United Nations Association of the UK. He had a leading role in  lobbying for greater UN support by member states, collaborating on a  series of issues with other UNAs (including Uganda), fundraising for the  Association and for UN humanitarian programmes and working, both in the  UK and internationally, on student Model UN simulations.  He is married  to Ann and they have three adult children, Clare, Kate and Charles. Malcolm Harper

  • Twenty-four years ago (1986), a group of us organised the two-day ‘Belgrano Inquiry’ at Hampstead Town Hall, London. This was the nearest there has ever been to a proper independent inquiry into the sinking of the Belgrano, and was supported by a number of important witnesses. The entire proceedings were recorded. Key extracts are available at the Sound Archive on this site, plus other back ground information and in-depth analysis.
