cannot let thiB occasion pass without reiteratinq my appeal to the South African Government to heed the unanimous call of the international community to proceed forthwith with the implementation of that resolution, The continuinq delay undermines the credibility of the South African Government at a time when the world is watchinq with qrowinq concern the increasinqly traqic developments occurrinq in the area. 13. The international community has an inescapable responsibility to make the process of implementin Security Council resolution 435 (1978) move forward. The failure to proceed on Namihia ia affectinq the reactions of the international community to other qrave developments in the reqion. In mv view, this would be the time for the Government of South Africa to display the statesmanship and wisdom that is requirti in the situation and to provide the opportunity for the people of Namibia to exercise their inalienable riqht to self-determination and independence in accordance with the relevant decieions of the Security Council. The continuation of the present impasse does not serve the interest of any party. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a diplomatic statement urging the South African government to comply with a United Nations Security Council resolution regarding Namibia. The language used is formal and emphasizes the importance of international cooperation and the need for the South African government to demonstrate statesmanship. The text does not mention economic or environmental issues, nor does it provide specific details about the situation in Namibia. It seems to focus on the political and international aspects of the issue.
