ORGANIZATION OF AFRICAN UNITY (OAU)

The OAU was founded in 1963 to promote self-government, respect for territorial boundaries and social progress throughout the African Continent. Membership is open to all independent African countries. Morocco withdrew from the OAU when the representative of Western Sahara (the Saharoui Arab Democratic Republic) was seated at the 20th OAU Assembly of Heads of State and Government in 1984. Nine OAU members also belong to the Arab League. There are 52 members.
