reiterates the demand that South Africa withdraw forth- with and unconditionally all its military forces from the territory of the People’s Republic of Angola, cease all acts of aggression against that State and scrupulously respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the People’s Republic of Angola. 10 1. The African National Congress fully shares the view expressed by the representative of India, that the Council’s response to the Pretoria regime’s arrogant defiance should be “unequivocal condemnation . . . and unanimous and swift action to make it comply with its Charter obliga- tions”. [2612th meeting, para. 22.1 102. Recently the Pretoria regime put the world on notice that it was brazenly determined to defy the Council by rejecting in advance any decisions that emerged from its deliberations. This attitude was again underscored in the statement made here by Pretoria’s spokesman last Thurs- day. On that occasion, the representative of the South African regime had the temerity to use this Council chamber as a podium from which to pronounce bellicose threats against the front-line and neighbouring States. He again repeated Pretoria’s claim arrogating to itself the right to intervene militarily in all African countries. 103. It is evident to us that the apartheid regime has been emboldened by the knowledge that, whatever else the international community might say, effective action to make Pretoria comply has been repeatedly blocked by some permanent members of the Council, especially the United States. It is time that Pretoria’s friends and allies realized that they will have to share responsibility with that regime as long as they maintain this universally con- demned course of action. 104. There can be no double standards on questions of international law and morality. Aggression must not be seen as permissible for the Pretoria regime because it enjoys the favour of certain Governments. Appeasement
