UN General Assembly
1964

42. The General Assembly must take effective decisions at this session to achieve full implementation, not only in words but also in deeds, of the Declaration on the granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples by the twentieth anniversary of our Organization. The Byelorussian SSR attaches particular significance to effective measures for checking the colonialists, who continue, with the help of their armed forces or through their puppets, to keep many peoples in servitude and dependence, I have in mind particularly the peoples of Angola, Mozambique, Southern Rhodesia, South West Africa, Oman, Aden and other territories. 43. The Byelorussian SSR considers itself in duty bound to support the efforts of those who oppose the revolting policy of apartheid, the very existence of which is a challenge to the principles of the United Nations Charter and a gross violation of the common interests of mankind. Responsibility for apartheid lies not only with Verwoerd's hangmen, but also with those who assist them — the Western countries belonging to the aggressive NATO military bloc.
