UN General Assembly
1983

83. The racist regime of Pretoria, with the approval and encouragement of the United States Government and other Governments which paradoxically claim to be concerned for human rights, attacks and invades Mozambique, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Seychelles, Lesotho, Botswana and Swaziland in an attempt to consolidate and perpetuate apartheid and racism. Nicaragua condemns the racist South African regime and voices its solidarity with the front-line States in their decision to support the total liberation of southern Africa. 84. By the same token, we support the struggle of the people of Namibia and their legitimate representative, the South West Africa People's Organization, and we demand the speedy implementation of Security Council resolution 435 (1978), as the Organization of African Unity demanded at its most recent summit meeting. 85. We also express our solidarity with the African National Congress, many of whose courageous members have fallen in its just struggle, among them the three South African anti-racist militants, amid the silence of Governments which maintain excellent relations with that regime.
