45. We are often accused of being emotional when requesting the early and equitable settlement of colonial problems, but we firmly believe that no real stability can be established unless these inhumane practices of the colonial Powers are brought to an end. It is for this reason that we call on the States Members of this Organization to take such action, diplomatic or otherwise, as would expedite the removal of the colonial yoke and speed up the march towards the liberation of the oppressed African people for whom we pledge our unconditional support. 46. As regards South Africa, my delegation feels that it is not enough for us to use mere words in condemnation of the policy of apartheid, which stands out as a classic violation of human rights, but that we must collectively take, both in this Organization and in its specialized agencies, concrete action to purge the world of the shame of apartheid and all other forms of racial discrimination once and for all.
