illegal trade which continues and, therefore, towards promoting the chances of a just and acceptable settlemerlt in Southern Rhodesia.” [ibid., para. 21. J Yet, in spite of the fact that it is known and accepted by all that the most substantial violators of the sanctions are South Africa and Portugal, the United Kingdom itself has proposed no measures to rectify this situation, and is not willing that any action be taken against those two. The statement of disavowal of extension of sanctions which would amount “to a declaration of economic warfare against the whole of southern Africa and whk11 ml; Government, for one, could not countenance”[ibid.] does not demonstrate the seriousness of the United Kingdom Government in the discharge of its responsibilities to the people of Southern Rhodesia as a whole, other than the racist minority. Nor has the United Kingdom come OUT with measures, even protests, against other known violators of sanctions, such as the United States. 15. It would appear, therefore, that the United Kingdom has colluded or connived with its collaborators in encour- aging, by action or inaction, the breach of Security COULD sanctions against Southern Rhodesia and therefore tie continuation of the illegal regime of Ian Smith. The point made by you, Mr. President, as a representative of the Sudan, that the United Kingdom naval patrol at Beira 113s been relaxed in its work, gives credence to the theory Qf collusion. It is obviously with concern that my dclegatioll heard you say: “It [the Committee] should have been aware of the fact that the British naval patrol, at Beira Port, has not onI> been relaxed but that Lourenqo Marques and Durban Ports have extended their port facilities in the service of 2 contraband trade from and to Southern Rhodesia.” [ibid., paw. 51.1
