definition of the crime of apartheid and that article III of that Convention could apply to the actions of such transnational corporations (E/CN.4/1990/35, para. 35), Reaffirming that any form of assistance given to the racist regime of South Africa constitutes a hostile act against the oppressed people of South Africa in their struggle for freedom and independence and obstructs efforts aimed at the elimination of colonialism, apartheid and racial discrimination in South Africa, Reaffirming that the utmost priority must be accorded to ensuring the full implementation of international instruments as well as the resolutions of the United Nations for the eradication of racism and apartheid, and the liberation of the people of South Africa from the racist and colonial regime, Noting with profound concern that the major Western and other trading partners of South Africa continue to collaborate with the racist regime, disregarding United Nations decisions relating to the total isolation of South Africa, and that their collaboration constitutes an obstacle to the liquidation of that racist regime and the elimination of the inhuman and criminal system of apartheid.

Alarmed at the continued collaboration of Western States and Israel with the racist regime of South Africa in the nuclear field. -62-Regretting that the Security Council has not been in a position to take binding decisions to prevent any collaboration in the nuclear field with South Africa, Conscious of the continuing need to mobilize world public opinion against the political, military, strategic, economic and other forms of assistance
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a statement condemning the support of transnational corporations and Western states to the apartheid regime in South Africa. It highlights the continued collaboration in various fields, including banking, international finance, and nuclear development, as obstacles to the eradication of apartheid and the liberation of the South African people. The text seems to be focused on the political and economic aspects of the situation, rather than specific issues related to development, natural resources, or humanitarian aid.
