UN General Assembly

14. In the field of decolonization—and that is indeed a noble task that the United Nations undertook to carry into fruition, for the benefit of mankind and the achievement of equal societies in independence and sovereignty — the road ahead lies blocked. This would not be so were it not for the adoption by the Governments of South Africa and Portugal of reactionary theories opposing discrimination to equality, conquest to emancipation, and assimilation to self-determination. Do those policies breed anything other than struggle, blood, ruthless repression and a definite threat to international peace and security? Does suppression of the political rights of 4 million Africans in Zimbabwe by a minority racist régime result in anything else but racial hatred and the poisoning of the atmosphere of universal brotherhood upon which the Charter is based? And are the illicit profits realized by the strong international monopolies, to the detriment of the indigenous African peoples, worth the dangers that they spread in South Africa and the uncertainties they cause to the future of that highly sensitive region of the world?
