29. The situation in Southern Rhodesia is a source of anxiety in Africa, and elsewhere, as a result of the attempt by the government of the European settlers to declare the independence of the territory unilaterally. It is most regrettable that the rulers in Salisbury still believe themselves able to perpetuate their supremacy over the African majority for the obvious purpose of exploiting them for their own selfish economic interests. By doing so, they are offering a flagrant challenge to the United Nations, which by its various resolutions has always reaffirmed the principle of rule by the majority.
