Yugoslavia was the only non-African country which participated in funding of the Liberation Committee of the Organisation of African Unity.[1][2] While being a uniquely involved in the workings of the body the country nevertheless preferred bilateral relations with individual liberation movements.[3] The Organisation of African Unity included the Non-Alignment principle in its charter while Yugoslavia consider the organisation to be the only legitimate representative for the entire African continent throughout the Cold War era.[4] Yugoslavia therefore followed common OAU line in its own policies towards issues in Africa.[4]
