UN General Assembly
1967

81. My Government's position with regard to South West Africa may be summed up as follows. The United Nations should: compel South Africa, by an international police action if need be, to withdraw from the Territory of South West Africa; associate representatives of the liberation movements in the organs it would set up for the temporary administration of the Territory: grant the Territory economic, social and administrative assistance; and organize free and democratic general elections to enable the Territory to accede to independence within a set period. Lastly, the United Nations should take a firmer attitude in the face of the economic and military might of the Republic of South Africa and its resultant arrogance and of the connivance of certain Western Powers; for there comes a time when therapy is no longer possible.
