UN General Assembly
1983

54. The People's Republic of Benin has always supported and will always support the Namibian people, led by its vanguard, the South West Africa People's Organization in all its tribulations until the achievement of complete victory and of an independence free from political or territorial restrictions. We reject out of hand all the delaying and diversionary tactics attempting to link Namibia's independence with the withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola. 55. At this session the Assembly must consider and adopt special emergency measures to give effect to Security Council resolution 435 (1978) to ensure that that martyred people can accede without further delay to full independence.
