2. Apartheid, like slavery, must be eradicated because it is a crime against humanity. 3. Apartheid must be eradicated because it is an affront to human dignity and a grave threat to international peace and security. 4. Apartheid must be eradicated so that the continent of Africa may be finally emancipated, after all the miseries and tragedies to which it has been subjected for centuries, and enabled to play its rightful role in international affairs. 5. Apartheid must be eradicated because that is indis­ pensable for the elimination of racism and for laying the basis for genuine international co-operation. 6. For thirty years the United Nations has been seized with the problem of racism in South Africa. It has made patient efforts to persuade the racist minority régimes to abandon the bitter legacy of the past and to work for a peace­ ful solution in accordance with the principles of human equality and international co-operation. 7. But these régimes have proved to be immune to persuasion. They have met the peaceful and just demands of the oppressed people by ruthless repression and have caused immense suffering in a desperate effort to preserve and con­ solidate racist domination. 8. The record of the apartheid régime which seized power in 1948 has few parallels in history for its inhumanity. 9. The black people, who constitute the overwhelming majority of the population of the country, have been constantly humiliated and brutally exploited. Millions of people have been forcibly moved from their homes to barren reserves or urban ghettos in an attempt to enforce racial segregation. Millions of Africans have been imprisoned under pass law» and other racist legislation. Thousands of patriots have been sentenced to long years in prison or tortured or banished. Hundreds of people have been massacred for peaceful demon­ strations against racism.
