UN General Assembly
1963

117. I said a moment ago that the South African Government was also a colonialist Government. The first victim it selected was the internationally mandated Territory of South West Africa. In that Territory, the administration of which was entrusted to it by the League of Nations, the Government of the clique of Voerwoerds and Malans has introduced all the racist laws that are in force in South Africa. Despite United Nations resolutions on the subject and warnings by the African States, the Government of South Africa considers the annexation of the Territory a fait accompli. That is why it cynically resists a United Nations presence in the Territory. The Government of Mali, which like the other African Governments undertook to implement the decisions adopted at Addis Ababa, asks the United Nations to accept the South African Government's challenge and to take all necessary steps to bring about a United Nations presence in the Territory of South West Africa, in accordance with the wishes expressed by the people of the country. Fortified by its impunity, the Government of South Africa has recently carried its audacity to the point of voicing claims to the protectorates of Basutoland, Swaziland and Bechuanaland.
