Policies of apartheid of the Government of South Africa : resolution / adopted by the General Assembly.

Takes note of Pretoria's declared commitment to abolish the apartheid system; calls upon the South African authorities to continue their efforts to foster a climate fully conducive to negotiations and free political activity; calls for a speedy and full implementation of the agreements reached so far between the South African regime and the African National Congress; calls for an immediate end to violence, which has resulted largely from the continued existence of the apartheid policies, practices and structures; considers that while the South African authorities have declared their intention to eradicate apartheid and embark on negotiations for a new constitution, the process of change in South Africa remains at an early stage and further substantive progress needs to be made to promote the profound and irreversible changes called for in the Declaration; calls upon all Governments to observe fully the mandatory arms embargo and requests the Security Council to monitor effectively the strict implementation of the arms embargo; appeals to all States, organizations and institutions to increase economic, humanitarian, legal, educational and other assistance and support to the victims of apartheid and to all those, including previously banned organizations, who oppose apartheid and promote a united, non-racial, democratic society in South Africa.
