South Africa was sowing terror all around it, causing desolation and sorrow and endeavouring to impose the racist regime's will on the whole of southern Africa through unjustified acts of aggression, the use of mercenaries, an economic blockade and threats. Recent dramatic events in Africa had shown that the only way to restore peace and stability on that continent was through the total elimination of the apartheid system. The international community must reject all delaying tactics, such as the recent abolition of the "pass laws", which had been replaced by repressive measures; it must also reject manoeuvres the sole purpose of which was to mitigate interna­ tional pressure and conceal from the public at large the true nature of the odious system in question.

The interna­ tional community must therefore help the peoples of South Africa and Namibia-through the African National Congress of South Africa (ANC) and the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO), which were their respective authentic representa­ tives-to fulfil their legitimate aspirations and secure the imposition of mandatory, comprehensive sanc­ tions against South Africa under Chapter VII of the Charter. 19.
