Considering that the extensive arms build-up of the military forces in southern Africa poses a real threat to the security and sovereignty of independent African States opposed to racial discrimination and to the main­ tenance of international peace and security, Noting with grave concern that the white racist minority régime in Southern Rhodesia continues to op­ erate illegally and that the measures so far taken by the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the administering Power, to bring down the rebellion have proved insufficient and ineffective, Convinced that the Security Council's mandatory sanctions against the illegal minority régime of South­ ern Rhodesia have failed owing mainly to the obstinate non-compliance of South Africa, Portugal and other States, contrary to their obligations under the Charter, Aware that many States, in flagrant disregard of previous resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council, continue to maintain political, com­ mercial, military, economic, social and other relations with the Government of South Africa and with the illegal white racist minority régimes in southern Africa, Noting that the year 1970, the twenty-fifth anni­ versary of the United Nations, marks a significant milestone in the life of the United Nations and that the year 1971 has been proclaimed the International Year for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimina­ tion, Welcoming the entry into force of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, Taking note of the report of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination,3 submitted under article 9 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, Reiterating its firm determination to bring about the complete elimination of racial discrimination and racism, which are abhorrent to the conscience and sense of justice of mankind, 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a United Nations resolution, focusing on the political and human rights aspects of the situation in southern Africa, particularly the racial discrimination and apartheid regime in Rhodesia. It does not mention economic or social development, nor does it discuss specific industries or sectors. The language used is more abstract, emphasizing the need to eliminate racial discrimination and maintain international peace and security.
