Considering that in its resolutions 616 B (VII) of 5 December 1952, 917 (X) of 6 December 1955 and 1248 (XIII) of 30 October 1958 the General Assembly has declared that racial policies designed to perpetuate or increase discrimination are inconsistent with the Charter of the United Nations and with the pledges under Article 56 of the Charter, Noting that in its resolutions 395 (V) of 2 Decem­ ber 1950, 511 (VI) of 12 January 1952 and 616 A (VII) of 5 December 1952 the General Assembly has successively affirmed that the pojicy of racial segrega­ tion (apartheid) is necessarily based on doctrines of racial discrimination, Recalling that the Security Council in its resolution of 1 April I9604 recognized that the situation in South Africa was one that had led to international friction and, if continued, might endanger international peace and security, Recalling further that the Security Council in its aforesaid resolution called upon the Government of South Africa to initiate measures aimed at bringing about racial harmony based on equality in order to ensure that the present situation does not continue, or recur and to abandon its policies of apartheid and racial discrimination, Recalling in particular that the Government of South Africa has completely disregarded General Assembly resolution 1598 (XV) of 13 April 1961 and, far from bringing its policies and conduct into conformity with its obligations under the Charter, has continued to re­ inforce its racial policies in disregard of those obliga­ tions, 1. Deplores that the Government of the Republic of South Africa has failed to comply with the repeated requests and demands of the General Assembly and with the aforesaid resolution of the Security Council and has flouted world public opinion by refusing to re­ consider or revise its racial policies or to observe its obligations under the Charter of the United Nations ;
