President, an urgent appeal to the world community to put together a package of measures to cushion Lesotho against the impact of sanctions. Lesotho, as a peace-loving country, advocates dialog for the resolution of international and local disputes. It is in this context that we have always called on the people of South Africa, both black and white, to sit down together to resolve the racial problems now confronting their country* As violence escalates in South Africa, we have to offer asylum to an increasingly large number of South African refugees. We shall continue to receive these victims of apartheid in accordance with our obligations under the 1951 Convention on refugees.
