22. The Ghana Government will oppose any solution of the Rhodesian problem which does not provide for (a) the convening of a constitutional conference of all political leaders of Southern Rhodesia for the purpose of deciding on the steps by which the country should achieve its independence at the earliest possible time, and (b) the immediate release of all political leaders in detention to enable them to participate in the process of developing the constitutional framework for independence. It is our determination, in accordance with the decision of the Organization of African Unity, to recognize an African Government-in-exile should Ian Smith carry out his threat of unilateral declaration of independence, and we shall call upon all Members of this Organization to support a majority African Government-in-exile and to boycott an illegal government of the settler minority in Southern Rhodesia.
