UN General Assembly
1967

61. Having assumed direct responsibility for that administration, the United Nations is committed to ensuring that South Africa ceases to exercise any authority over the Territory. In the light of the divergent approaches to the problem during the special session of the General Assembly, we are compelled to appeal to all Member States, and especially the great Powers, to co-operate In ensuring the full and speedy implementation of resolution 2145 (XXI) and resolution 2248 (S-V) adopted by the Assembly at its special session. 62. We note with considerable dismay that, in spite of the action already taken by the General Assembly, South Africa continues to exercise authority over the Territory, spreading its policy of apartheid and oppressing the inhabitants of this Non-Self- Governing Territory. The creation of Ovamboland as a self-governing entity within South West Africa is but the first step in the deliberate fragmentation of the Territory in order to facilitate its domination and eventual annexation by South Africa. These measures must therefore be resisted most vigorously.
