UN General Assembly
1967

161. I cannot end this reference to decolonization in Africa without underscoring, as far as the particular question of South West Africa is concerned, the full support given by my delegation to the General Assembly resolutions [2145 (XXI) and 2248 (3-V)] terminating South Africa's Mandate over that Territory and taking over the authority there. We shall also furnish genuine support to such adequate measures as this Assembly may see fit to adopt in order to reinforce the authority of the Council for South West Africa. 162. To turn now to certain matters of international policy which are of major concern to us, the speakers who have preceded me here have rightly stated that the peace of the world is more and more being threatened; that is true so long as no satisfactory solution is forthcoming for the tragic events taking place in Africa, Asia and other parts of the world. I mentioned some of them when I spoke of the situation in the African Territories under Portuguese colonial domination, in Southern Rhodesia, in South Africa and in South West Africa.
