sions. The United Nations plan for Namibia, as endorsed in resolutions 385 (1976) and 435 (1978,), is the only basis for a final and lasting settlement of the Namibian question, and we seek nothing more than its full, unconditional and expeditious implementation. 62. I should like to recall here that thesecretary-General, in pursuance of resolution 532 (1983), adopted nearly two years ago, undertook consultations with the parties directly concerned and, in his earlier reports, confirmed that all outstanding issues relevant to resolution 435 (1978) had been resolved except for the choice of electoral system. In his latest report to the Council [S/17242] the Secretary- General has confirmed this position and has pointed out again that, due to South Africa’s insistence on a totally irrelevant and extraneous issue, it has not yet been possible for him to launch the United Nations plan. On the question of the electoral system, the leadership of SWAP0 has shown flexibility and understanding, while the Pretoria regime has not even communicated its views to the Secretary-General. My delegation is in full agreement with the concluding remarks of the Secretary-General, when in paragraph 48, he urged all concerned to “make a renewed and determined effort to expedite implementation of reso- lution 435 (1978) so that the people ofNamibia can exercise their inalienable right to self-determination and indepen- dence without further delay”. Under the present circum- stances, my delegation strongly feels that the Council should reaffirm its commitment to theUnitedNations plan and mandate the Secretary-General to undertake further consultations with the parties directly involved, with a view to finalizing the electoral system for holding elections in Namibia under United Nations supervision and control, as called for by resolution 435 (1978). The racist regime should be told in clear and categorical terms to co-operate
