where the Azanian People's Liberation Army, the military wing of the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania, carried out any irresponsible armed attack against civilians. On the contrary, the hit squads of the racist régime recently literally wiped out the entire family of Mr. Chand on the border with Botswana and demolished his house with explosives. Mr. Chand, his wife and three sons, two of them mutes, were gunned down in their beds before the house was blown up. Consequently, the Pan Africanist Congress rejects the racist demand that we disarm unilaterally. But we are prepared seriously to consider reaching a mutually agreed cessation of hostilities as called for in the Harare Declaration and in the General Assembly's consensus resolution. The General Assembly consensus resolution is very specific in its insistence that the aim of any negotiations must not be either to reform or to amend apartheid. Apartheid must be totally and completely eradicated. Therefore, apartheid, especially its pillars, cannot be negotiated. According to the consensus resolution, what has to be negotiated is the new non-racial democratic constitution for a post-apartheid South Africa. In that regard, the Pan Africanist Congress firmly maintains that only democratically elected representatives can claim to have a mandate to draw up a new constitution for our country. As a result, the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania has called for the establishment of a democratically elected constituent assembly. Every Azanian over the age of 18, irrespective of race, colour or creed, should register on a common voters roll and vote for a democratic non-racial constituent assembly. That elected assembly would be truly representative and would have the mandate to draw up the new constitution. The Pan Africanist Congress of Azania maintains that this is the most democratic formula by which to resolve the problem in our country. EMS/18 A/44/PV.97 74-75 (Mr. Ebrahim. PAC^
