UN General Assembly
1970

45. We denounce all forms of economic, military and other kinds of aid to racist and colonialist regimes, whether that aid takes the form of foreign investments, military the provision of arms or the building of factories on their Territory, since it all constitutes a policy designed to support the oppressor and to perpetuate the oppression. 46. This is the proper occasion for our delegation to raise its voice in energetic protest against the sale of arms to South Africa by certain Member States, particularly certain members of the Security Council, which are thus shirking the international obligations which are imposed upon them by the Charter. 47. In this regard, the seventh session of the Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African Unity, held in Addis Ababa in September 1970, deplored the attitude of the NATO countries which continue to sell arms to South Africa and to provide it with financial assistance, thus enabling it to pursue its policy of repression against the innocent African people by intensifying its policy of apartheid.
