74. On the question of apartheid the co-operation of the major trading partners of South Africa is essential to implement the relevant United Nations resolutions. We reiterate again our concern at the growing disappointment of coloured peoples and countries of the world that the strong and industrialized countries of the West, that happen to be white and have in them the power to bring about constructive changes in southern Africa, do not appear to be seriously interested in seeing the course of Justice triumph there. This, if unchecked, would have a most serious and terrible repercussion in relations among nations in time to come. 75. For all its shortcomings, the United Nations remains the principal world Organization on which Member States are placing their hopes for the maintenance of peace and security in the world. Of immediate concern to this aspect of the United Nations work are the peace-keeping operations. The founder Members of this august body might have regarded this particular activity as of the utmost importance for its existence.
