UN General Assembly
1982

called before the end of this session of the Assembly, which should be attended at the very highest levels, and which will deal with the effectiveness of the Security Council in discharging its responsibilities for the maintenance of international peace and security. We further urge that the General Assembly should assign the subject of the Secretary General's report on the work of the Organization to a Main Committee at this session, in which the Member States would actively consider the implication of the Secretary General's report, and the action they might take when the Security Council is unable to act. Another subject of urgent concern is that of Namibia. The movement towards independence for Namibia continues to be slow, notwithstanding the hints from the contact group that progress has been made. South Africa continues to block effective action. Security Council resolution 435 (1978) must be fully implemented. Jamaica does not share the view that the independence of Namibia should be linked to the withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola. The two are separate issues and must be dealt with
