A

Reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of the op- I. pressed people of South Africa and their national liberation movement by all available means, including armed struggle, for the seizure of power by the people, the elimination of the apartheid regime and the exercise of the right of self-determination by the people of South Africa as a whole:

Strongly condemns the racist minority regime for its brutal repression and indiscriminate torture and killings of workers, schoolchildren and other opponents of apartheid:

Vehemently condemns the Pretoria regime's persistent attempts at destabilization of neighbouring States and its repeated acts of aggression and subversion:

Further condemns that regime for its defiance of Security Council resolution 473 ( 1980):

Urges the Security Council to determine that the situation in South Africa, and in southern Africa as a whole, resulting from the policies and actions of the

racist regime of South Africa constitutes a threat to international peace and security:

Further urges the Security Council to impose effective mandatory sanctions, including an oil embargo against South Africa, under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations;

Condemns the collaboration of certain Western and other States, as well as those transnational corporations and other organizations which maintain and/or continue to increase their collaboration with the racist regime of South Africa in the political, economic. military and nuclear and other fields:

Again proclaims its full support of the national liberation movement of South Africa as the authentic representative of the South African people in their just struggle for liberation;

I 0.

Again denounces the establishment of bantustans as designed to consolidate the inhuman policy of apartheid, to destroy the territorial integrity of the country, to perpetuate white minority domination and to deprive the African people of South Africa of their inalienable rights, and calls upon all Governments to continue to deny any form of recognition to the so-called "independent" bantustans and to refrain from any dealings with such entities as have been declared null and void;

Strongly condemns the Pretoria regime's continued plan to create a so-called "constellation" of southern African States which seeks to reduce the neighbouring African countries to client States as part of its bantustan programme designed to perpetuate apartheid in South Africa and the political, economic and military domination of the regime;

Reaffirms the commitment of the United Nations to the total eradication of apartheid and the promotion of the establishment of a democratic society in which all the people of South Africa as a whole, irrespective of race, colour, sex or creed, will enjoy equal and full human rights and fundamental freedoms and participate freely in the determination of their destiny;

Appeals to all States which have not yet done so to accede to the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid;"

Calls upon all Governments and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations to take effective measures to promote the international mobilization against apartheid in order to isolate the racist regime of South Africa and lend full support to the national liberation movement of South Africa;

Requests the Special Committee to promote the international mobilization in co-operation with Governments and organizations, including anti-apartheid and solidarity movements, trade unions, religious bodies, youth and student organizations, women's organizations and all other non-governmental organizations concerned.
