UN General Assembly
1961

"The establishment of the Republic has already led to a change. We have become nationalists, not in the political sense of the term [sic] but as a people belonging to a single nation. The South African nation means the whites of South Africa," Mr. Verwoerd went on to say: "In the future the National Party should not be the party of the citizens who speak Afrikaans, but the party that is working for the preservation of the whites in South Africa." 59. What is clear and unmistakable is that Mr. Verwoerd's Machiavellism is now quite unambiguous: genocide has been officially announced as the programme of the South African National Party. 60. We may wager that the Republic of South Africa would now be out of the United Nations, under the provisions of Article 6 of the Charter, but for the unavowed sympathy of certain major Powers.
