Oil Working Group (OWG)
United Kingdom
The Oil Working Group was created in 1980 by War on Want, the Methodist Church Oversees Division and the United Reform Church to raise the issue of illegal oil exports to Southern Africa. They lobbied oil companies, raised questions at annual general meetings, undertook research and publicised their findings. The group was renamed Embargo in 1985 and ELTSA took over its administration. Embargo functioned until 1993.
The Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford holds the archives of the organisation as part of the ELTSA collection.
