UN General Assembly
1967

76. Despite the Security Council resolutions recognizing that the maintenance of the rebel régime constituted a threat to international peace and security, despite the appeals of the Organization of African Unity, despite the positions taken by members of the Commonwealth, the United Kingdom, one of the oldest parliamentary democracies in the world, continues to support a racist minority of some 200,000 Whites who are holding 4 million Africans in servitude. To destroy every vestige of independence among the Africans of Zimbabwe, the white minority is resorting to classical apartheid methods: expulsion, torture, summary trials and executions, segregation, etc. 77. We who were in good faith were taken by surprise by this vast swindle. What could we expect from talks between the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the usurper Ian Smith, dealing as equals? What are we to think of the good will missions to Salisbury by eminent figures of the British world, the foremost among them being Lord Alport? If 1 am not mistaken, this is what is legally known as a "de facto recognition."
