UN General Assembly
1988

With regard to Lebanon, we urge all components of the Lebanese people to take part in a frank and sincere dialogue to bring about mutual trust, for the establishment of peace and national unity. Djibouti supports the efforts to convene an international peace conference on the Middle East, in conformity with the provisions of the relevant General Assembly resolutions, a conference in which the PLO would participate as an independent party and on an equal footing with the other parties. In South Africa the racist regime is perpetuating its hateful, inhuman system of apartheid, and the situation gets worse every day, with new restrictions imposed on the South African people, with, in particular; continued detention, torture and assassination. My country supports the just struggle of the people of South Africa, and appeals to the international community to take appropriate steps to dismantle apartheid.
