State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs of the United Kingdom, Sir Geoffrey Howe, on the brilliant manner in which he chaired the special ministerial meeting of the Council on 26 September. Equally notable was the chairmanship of the knowledgeable representative of the United Kingdom, Sir John Thomson, during the same month. 10. The Council is meeting for the second time in two weeks to consider Angola’s complaint about South Afri- ca’s repeated acts of aggression against its territory. These recent acts of aggression show South Africa’s disregard for the international will, represented by resolution 57 1(1985), which the Council adopted recently, and which has not yet been implemented owing to lack of time. These acts of aggression reveal South Africa’s intransigence and arro- gance. Its arrogance was again illustrated yesterday by South Africa’s attempt to suggest what the ideal regime for Angola, an independent country, should be. Is not that flagrant interference in the internal affairs of an indepen- dent country, a sovereign, active Member of the United Nations? 17. On 20 Sentember. the Council held an urgent meet- . ing to consider the question of racist South Africa’s renewed unprovoked aggression against the People’s Republic of Angola. The sense of outrage and indignation felt by the members of the Council and by the interna- tional community as a whole regarding these barbarous acts of the Pretoria regime was clearly manifested in the letter and spirit of the resolution that emanated from that meeting-namely, resolution 571 (1985), which was unanimously adopted. That resolution, as will be recalled, inter alia demanded that the South African regime imme- diately withdraw its forces of invasion from Angolan terri- tory and pay reparations for the loss of life and damage to property suffered by the people of Angola.

The language used is formal and diplomatic, indicating that the text is likely a statement made by a government or international organization. The topic of the statement is the aggression of South Africa against Angola, which suggests that the category should be related to international relations or conflict resolution.
