Calls upon the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, having regard to its continued failure to bring down the illegal regime, to take forthwith all effective and decisive measures to terminate that regime, so as to restore to the people of the Territory their inalienable right to self-determination and independence as set forth in the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, contained in General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960;

Strongly condemns the policies of the Governments, particularly the Government of South Africa, which, in violation of the relevant resolutions of the United Nations and in open contravention of their specific obligations under Article 25 of the Charter of the United Nations, continue to collaborate with the illegal racist minority regime, and calls upon those Govl!mments to cease forthwith all such collaboration;

Condemns all violations of the mandatory sanctions imposed by the Security Council, as well as the continued failure of certain Member States to enforce those sanctions strictly, as being contrary to the obligations assumed by them under Article 25 of the Charter;

Condemns the continued importation of chrome and nickel from Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) into the United States of America, and calls upon the Government of the United States to repeal speedily any legislation permitting such importation;

Calls upon all Governments which so far have not done so:

To take stringent enforcement measures to ensure strict compliance by all individuals, associations and bodies corporate under their jurisdiction with the sanctions imposed by the Security Council and to prohibit any form of collaboration by them with the illegal regime;

To take effective steps to prevent or discourage the emigration to Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe,) of any individuals or groups of individuals under their jurisdiction;

( c) To discontinue any action which mi~ht confer a semblance of legitimacy on the illegal regime, inter alia, by forbidding the operation and activities of Air Rhodesia, the Rhodesia National Tourist Board and the Rhodesian Information Office, or any other activities which contravene the aims and purposes of the sanctions;

To invalidate passports and other documents for travel to the Terri~ory;

Reiterates its conviction that the scope of the sanctions against the illegal regime must be widened to include all the measures envisaged under Article 4 I of the Charter and requests the Security Council tn consider taking the necessary measures in that regard as soon as possible;

Appeals to those permanent members of the Security Council whose negative votes on various pro· posals relating to the question have continued to ob-- struct the effective and faithful discharge by the Coun-

cil of its responsibilities under the relevant provisions of the Charter to reconsider their negative attitude with a view to the elimination forthwith of the threat to international peace and security · resulting from the explosive situation obtaining in the Territory;

Requests the Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples to follow the implementation of the present resolution, and invites the Security Council Committee established in pursuance of resolution 253 ( 1968) concerning th~ question of Southern Rhodesia to continue to co-operate in the related work of the Special Committee.
