From the ALA 1996 Banned Books Resource Guide
Banned as obscene in France (1956-1959), in Argentina (1959) and in New Zealand (1960). The South African Directorate of Publications announced on Nov. 27, 1982 that Lolita had been taken off the banned list, eight years after a request for permission to market the novel in paperback had been refused.

Although it was published in Paris, it was soon (1956) to be banned there for being obscene. An Argentinian court banned the book in 1959 and again in 1962 ruling that the book "reflected moral disintegration and reviled humanity." In 1960, the New Zealand Supreme Court also banned the book. It was later freely published in France, England, and the U.S.
