12 139. Barely two weeks have passed since the adoption by the Council of resolution 571 (1985), in which it clearly condemned the aggression committed by South Africa against Angola and called for the immediate withdrawal of South African military forces and the cessation of all acts of aggression against that State. Yet South Africa has now launched a new act of aggression, using its infantry and air force in the manner indicated by the representative of Angola in his statement this morning. 140. Despite this blatant defiance of the resolutions and the authority of the Security Council by South Africa, its representative has come here to give us advice. The repre- sentative of the United Kingdom has responded to that advice, and therefore the delegation of Egypt need not return to the point. 141. The racist Pretoria Government has proved by its acts of aggression that it will not abide by Council resolu- tions until the Council takes the steps provided for in the Charter of the United Nations. Therefore, as I said at the beginning of this statement, it is high time for action. The Council must act decisively in order to regain its dignity. It must take all the measures within its prerogatives to deal with these repeated acts of aggression. The meeting rose at 1.10 p.m. HOW TO OBTAIN UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATIONS United Nations publications may be obtained from bookstores and distributors throughout the world.
