recurrence of violence in South Africa. The recent waves of violence in South Africa, in particular the massacres of innocent civilians in Boipatong last June and in Ciskei early this month, constitute a serious setback to the ongoing efforts aimed at creating a climate conducive to a negotiated settlement. We trust that with the support of the international community the people of South Africa can find common ground for a solution to the problems originating from the policies of institutionalized racial segregation. My Government welcomes the current efforts aimed at bringing about a resumption of talks leading towards a political settlement of the conflict in that country. We pay special tribute to the manner in which the international community as a whole, and the United Nations in particular, has promptly responded to the issue of violence in South Africa. We welcome the recent adoption of Security Council resolution 765 (1992). We wish to encourage the Secretary-General to continue to work towards the implementation of that resolution and to help avert the current deadlock in the negotiating process.
