UN General Assembly
1976

108. Twenty-five years have elapsed without the international community making the slightest change in the arrogant and defiant attitude of the colonialist and racist authorities in Pretoria. Not only has the heinous policy of apartheid been entrenched as an almost inexpugnable state institution, but it is in the process of being transplanted to the neighboring Territories of Namibia and of Rhodesia. The question that arises for the conscience of mankind is whether our Assembly today is in a position to checkmate the insane determination and senseless conspiracy of a handful of unenlightened white settlers who wish to see their retrograde dreams become a reality. 109. Everything seems to have been said again and again for the past 25 years concerning that situation. Our Organization today, appears to be tired of vainly condemning at each of its sessions one of its obstinate Members which appears to be more determined than ever not to implement its decisions. This continued defiance by South Africa of the United Nations cannot but undermine our Organization.
