Resolution 326 (1973)
of 2 February 1973

The Security Council,

Taking note of the letter dated 24 January 1973
from the Permanent Representative of Zambia to the
United Nations (S/10865), and having heard the
statement made by the Permanent Representative of
Zambia concerning recent acts of provocation against
Zambia by the illegal régime in Salisbury, 12

Gravely concerned at the situation created by the
provocative and aggressive acts committed by the illegal
régime in Southern Rhodesia against the security and
economy of Zambia,

Reaffirming the inalienable right of the people of
Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) to self-determination
and independence in accordance with General Assembly
resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960, and the
legitimacy of their struggle to secure the enjoyment of
such rights, as set forth in the Charter of the United
Nations,

Recalling its resolution 232 (1966) of 16 December
1966, in which it determined that the situation in
Southern Rhodesia constituted a threat to international
peace and security,

Convinced that the recent provocative and aggressive acts perpetrated by the illegal régime against
Zambia aggravate the situation,

Deeply concerned that measures approved by the
Council have failed to terminate the illegal régime and
convinced that sanctions cannot put an end to the
illegal régime unless they are comprehensive, mandatory and effectively supervised and unless measures
are taken against States which violate them,

Deeply disturbed by the continued illegal presence
and by the intensified military intervention of South
Africa in Southern Rhodesia, contrary to Security
Council resolution 277 (1970) of 18 March 1970,
and also by the deployment of South African armed
forces on the border with Zambia, which seriously
threatens the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
Zambia and other neighbouring African States,

Deeply shocked and grieved at the loss of human
life and damage to property caused by the aggressive
acts of the illegal régime in Southern Rhodesia and
its collaborators against Zambia,

Reaffirming the primary responsibility of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland over its colony of Southern Rhodesia,
in accordance with the relevant United Nations resolutions,

1. Condemns all the acts of provocation and harassment, including economic blockade, blackmail and
military threats, against Zambia by the illegal régime
in collusion with the racist régime of South Africa;

2. Condemns all measures of political repression that
violate fundamental freedoms and rights of the people
of Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), in particular, the
recent measures of collective punishment.

3. Calls upon the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take all
effective measures to put an end to such actions by the
illegal and racist régime of Southern Rhodesia and that
of South Africa;

4. Regrets that measures so far taken have failed
to bring the rebellion in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) to an end;

5. Condemns the continued presence of South African military and armed forces in Southern Rhodesia,
contrary to Security Council resolution 277 (1970);

6. Demands the immediate and total withdrawal of
South African military and armed forces from Southern
Rhodesia and from the border of that Territory with
Zambia;

7. Calls upon the Government of the United Kingdom, as the administering Power, to ensure the effective implementation of paragraph 6 of the present
resolution;

8. Requests the Security Council Committee established in pursuance of resolution 253 (1968) concerning the question of Southern Rhodesia to expedite
the preparation of its report undertaken under Security
Council resolution 320 (1972) of 29 September 1972,
taking into account the recent developments in Southern
Rhodesia;

9. Decides to dispatch immediately a special mission, consisting of four members of the Security Council, to be appointed by the President of the Security
Council after consultations with the members, to assess
the situation in the area, and requests the mission so
constituted to report to the Council not later than 1
March 1973;

10. Calls upon the Government of Zambia, the
Government of the United Kingdom and the Government of South Africa to provide the special mission
with the necessary co-operation and assistance in the
discharge of its task;

11. Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

Adopted at the 1691st meeting by 13 votes to none with
2 abstentions (United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland, United
States of America)

ORIGINAL: ENGLISH

Guinea, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Sudan and Yugoslavia:
revised draft resolution

The Security Council,

Taking note of the letter dated 24 January 1973 by the Permanent
Representative of Zambia to the United Nations contained in document S/10865, and
having heard the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Zambia
concerning recent acts of provocation against Zambia by the illegal régime in
Salisbuyy,

Gravely concerned at the situation created by the provocative and aggressive
acts committed by the illegal régime in Southern Rhodesia against the security
and economy of Zambia,

Reaffirming the inalienable right of the people of Southern Rhodesia
(Zimbabwe) to self-determination and independence in accordance with General
Assembly resolution 1514 (XV) and the legitimacy of their struggle to secure the
enjoyment of such rights as set forth in the Charter,

Recalling its resolution 232 (1966), in which it determined that the
situation in Southern Rhodesia constituted a threat to international peace and
security,

Convinced that the recent provocative and aggressive acts perpetrated by
the illegal régime against the Republic of Zambia aggravate the situation,

Deeply concerned that measures approved by the Council have failed to
terminate the illegal régime and convinced that sanctions cannot put an end to
the illegal régime unless they are comprehensive, mandatory and effectively
supervised, snd unless measures are taken against States which violate them,

Deeply disturbed by the continued illegal presence and by the intensified
military intervention of South Africa in Southern Rhodesia, contrary to the
provisions of Security Council resolution 277 (1970), and also by the deployment
of South African armed forces on the border with Zambia, which seriously
threatens the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Zambia and other
neighbouring African States,

Deeply shocked and grieved at the loss of human life and damage to property

collaborators against the Republic of Zambia,

Reaffirming the primary responsibility of the Government of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland over its colony of Southern Rhodesia,
in accordance with the relevant United Nations resolutions,

1. Condemns all the acts of provocation and harassment, including economic
blockade, blackmail and military threats, against the Republic of Zambia by the
illegal régime in collusion with the racist régime of South Africa;

2. Condemns all measures of political repression that violate fundamental
freedoms and rights of the people of Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), in particular,
the recent reasures of collective punishment;

3. Calls upon the Government of the United Kingdom to take all effective
measures to put an end to such actions by the illegal and racist régime of
Southern Rhodesia and that of South Africa;

4, Reprets that measures so far taken have failed to bring the rebellion
in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) to an end;

5. Condemns the continued presence of South African military and armed
forces in Southern Rhodesia contrary to Security Council resolution 277 (1970);

6. Demands the immediate and total withdrawal of South African military
and armed forces from Southern Rhodesia and from the border of that Territory with
Zanbiag

T. Calls upon the Government of the United Kingdom, as the Administering
Authority, to ensure the effective implementation of paragraph 6 of this
resolutions

8. Requests the Security Council Committee established in pursuance of
resolution 253 (1968) concerning the question of Southern Rhodesia to expedite
the preparation of its report undertaken under Security Council resolution

320 (1972), taking into account the recent developments in Southern Rhodesia;

9. Decides to despatch immediately a special mission, consisting of four
members of the Security Council, to be appointed by the President of the Security
Council after consultations with the members, to assess the situation in the area,

and requests the mission co constituted to report to the Council not later than
1 March 1973;

10. Calls upon the Government of Zambia, the Government of the United Kingdom
and the Government of South Africa to provide the mission with the necessary
co~operation and assistance in the discharge of its task;

Tanzania, Zaire, Chile, Algeria, Senegal, Egypt, Somalia,

3. The PRESIDENT: 1 wish to draw the attention of the
members of the Council to a new document, which will be
distributed in a few minutes, under the symbol S/10877; it
is a letter dated 29 January 1973 from the representative of
Zambia to the Secretary-General.

4. Members will also recall that in the course of the
1690th meeting of the Council, held on 1 February 1973,
the representative of the Sudan introduced two draft
resolutions [S/10875 and S/10876] sponsored by Guinea,
Kenya, the Sudan and Yugoslavia. Does any member of the
Council wish to make any comments on the two draft
resolutions? If no one wishes to speak ~ shall assume that
the Council is ready to vote on these ~ e<~lutions.

5. Mr. ABDULLA (Sudan): Memuers -. recall that
yesterday afternoon, when 1 presented the two draft
resolutions, I said that the sponsors were ready to conduct
any negotiations which might help to achieve unanimous
support for those two draft resolutions. If, in your opinion,
Mr. President, a short time might be wanted for further
negotiations, the sponsors are ready to go along with that.

6. The PRESIDENT: I am really in some difficulty,
because I have not heard different views expressed which
would warrant my adjourning the Council to enable
representatives to consult.

7. Mr. PHILLIPS (United States of America): Mr. Presi.
dent, judging from the silence that has greeted your request
for some indication of what the Council is prepared to do, |
should suggest that we might consider adjourning antil
Monday. so that consultations might take place in the

intervening perlod of time. 1 am not going to mako this a

formal proposal until 1 have beard the views of others,
including you, Sir, but it seems to me. that we are not
propared to vote at this the,

8.- The. PRESIDENT:  1— Tope. hat hat at loastwill

stimulate some discussion,

9, Mr. JAIN (India): A little while ago ho reprosentative i

of the Sudan made a proposal which, as far us my
delegation has beon able to understand, Is a proposal for
a short suspension to facilitate the continugnee of informal
consultations in the search for unanimity on the two draft
resolutions, My delegation would like to support that
proposal,

10. The PRESIDENT: May | know on the representytive of the Sudan whether his prpposal Is a formal one?

t1. Mr. ABDULLA (Sudan): Since there has been a
response to my suggestion, | should now like to make the
formal proposal that we suspend for 10 or 15 minutes and
then return to consider the two draft resolutions.

12. Sir Laurence MCINTYRE (Australia): 1 should like to
support the motion of the representative of the Sudan, if
only for the reason that, as 1 understand it, there is another
document about to be circulated which we have not yet
seen. Possibly it has some relevance te what we are
discussing,

13. The PRESIDENT: We have a formal proposal for a
suspension of about 20 minutes.

14, Mr. LENNKII (Austria): 1 should like to associate
myself with the representatives of Australia and the Sudan
and say that my delegation too would favour a suspension
of the meeting. As concerns the time-limit, I would say that
we should suspend not for a definite time but for as long as
consultations continue, since we cannot say that they will
be concluded in 20 minutes.

15. The PRESIDENT: | take it that the Council will agree
to a suspension to enable delegations to consult on the two
draft resolutions. As there is no objection, we shall suspend
for consultations.

The meeting was suspended at 3.25 pan. and resunied at
4.45 pam,

16. Mr. ABDULLA (Sudan): Mr. President, while the
meeting was suspended, you and the sponsors carried out a
numba of consultations among members that enabled us to
come to some kind of agreement on the two draft
resolutions.

17. On behalf of the sponsors, 1 wish to point out certain
modifications to the draft resolstion in document S/10875,
First, the end of operative paragraph 3 should read: “such
actions by the illegal and racist régime of Southern
Rhodesta and that of South Africa. Secondly, it has been
agreed that paragraph 7 should read as follows:

“Regrets that measures so far taken have {alled to bring
the rebellion in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) to an
end".

“in document  S/10878,

That paragraph will become paragraph 4 and be placed after
paragraph 3. Tho following paragraphs will be renumbered
accordingly,

18. 1 take this opportunity to say also hat both | India i and
=Indonesla.are now co-sponsors of the draft resolutions. Its -
the -wish of the- sponsors that the two draft resolutions, ~~ =

with the modifications that 1 have just road out, to the one
receive_ _tho_“approval of all
delegations.

19. The PRESIDENT: As there are no comments from
members ef the Council, 1 take it that the Council is now
ready to vote on these two draft resolutions, We shall vote
on them in the order in which they were issued,

20. 1 shall put to the vote first the draft resolution in

2 See resolution 327 (1973).

25. Sir Colin CROWE (United Kingdom): In my remarks
at the beginning of the present debate, on 29 January
[1687th meeting], 1 said that my delegation had some
doubts as to whether the adoption of resolutions would be
the most appropriate method for the Security Council to
respond to the present situation. I must confess that during
the debate that followed those doubts increased as, with
some notable exceptions, so mary of the contributions
ranged over a wide sp~~ of familiar problems without
suggesting any new soluuicns. When the two draft resolutions were presented yesterday, I began to feel that my
fears were really justified and that there was danger of a
wholly sterile outcome. 1 am therefore glad that the
sponsors recognized that danger and agreed to certain
modifications.

26. The occasion for the present debate was the closure by
the Rhodesian régime of its border with Zambia. The
Rhodesian authorities have said that they closed the border
because of attacks, in some cases against civilians, which
they claim have been launched from Zambian territory. The
representative of Zambia has informed the Council of
violent incidents that have occurred on the Zambian side of
the border. We recognize in particular the long-term hazard
that the laying of mines represents.

27. As I said in my opening remarks, my Government has
always condemned the use of violence in pursuit of political
ends. We believe, however, that the present situation must
be viewed in the perspective of all the events since the
illegal declaration of independence in Rhodesia. 1 have
already told the Council of the comment by Sir Alec
Douglas-Home that

“When a Government pursuing racialist policies inside a
country finds freedom fighters coming from outside, I am
afraid that that is a situation which I have warned time
and again would be bound to lead to conflict” [Ibid.,
para. 117].

In our view, the real solution to all these problems lies in
the achievement of a just and acceptable political settlement within Rhodesia.

28. In these circumstances, the purpose of all concerned
ought to be to relieve the present tension on the border and
to get back to a normal situation. The reason is simple and,
I believe, accepted by everyone. The closure of the border
has both economic and political effects. For the moment,
leaving on one side the economic effects, it is undeniable
that the continued border closure is dangerous because it
carries a constant threat of increased tension and violence.
Such tension, dangerous in itself, also endangers the
prospects for a peaceful political settlement within
Rhodesia.

29. The draft resolution in document §$/10876/Rev.1,
which we have just adopted, is concerned with economic
developments that have taken place since the closure of the
border. As [ said on the first day of this debate, it is for the
Zambian Government to decide its policy with regard to
the resumption of the movements interrupted by the
closure of the Rhodesian border, should it be reopened. We
recognize that in this question, vital for its economy,

Zambia cannot allow itself to remain at risk. It is also right
in such circumstances that the United Nations should be
asked to undertake an expert examination of the economic
consequences for Zambia of maintaining alternative trade
routes. Such an examination should, as the representative
of the United States pointed out [1689th meeting], draw
on all the previous relevant studies. It should also cover all
the relevant aspects, including the contributions made by
existing aid programmes.

30. This is not the moment to go into details, but I can
say that the United Kingdom has a substantial programme
of economic aid for Zambia's developments. Seme other
Members of the United Nations have also been generous in
this regard, and we hope that more will be ready to follow
this example. We therefore voted in favour of the draft
resolution in document S/10876/Rev.1.

31. The draft resolution in document S/10875/Rev.1, on
the other hand, seems to my delegation unlikely to achieve
any positive results. We are glad that its sponsors have been
ready to remove the unjust and unjustified implications of
the former operative paragraph 7. The fact that the
replacement paragraph has now been moved up to follow
immediately after paragraph 3 does not, in the view of my
delegation, carry any implication that the United Kingdom
is being singled out in what is now paragraph 4. My
delegation was not informed of this change of order during
this afternoon’s consultations. If there had been any
suggestion that paragraph 4 had particular application to
my Government, I should have been obliged to oppose it.
But we still feel that the resolution completely misses the
mark as far as responding to the need of the present
situation goes, or of assisting the prospects for a peaceful
political settlement in Rhodesia. Such resolutions, on the
contrary, tend to harden positions and perpetuate confrontation and an already dangerous situation, rather than allow
freer play to the more positive elements to which I referred
in my opening statement. For this reason my delegation
was unable to vote in favour of the draft resolution in’
document S/10875/Rev.1. :

32. Mr. PHILLIPS (United States of America): I should
like to make a brief explanation of vote on the two .
resolutions just adopted by the Council.

33. 1 can associate myself to a very large extent with what

has just been said by the representative of the United

Kingdom with reference to the draft resolution in docu-

ment S/10875/Rev.1. Without reviewing the numerous

points which we had discussed privately with the sponsors,

I simply want to repeat that the resolution, regrettably, is

not likely to achieve the desired results. It raises. the

question which my delegation has raised on numerous ,
occasions in matters of this kind. namely, whether réso-

lutions which, in all candour, seem unlikely to affect

favourably the desired outcome—and, indeed, which can

have the effect, as has been pointed out, of hardening .
relations and of increasing confrontations—are desirable. We,
abstained in the vote on that draft resolution for those
reasons.

34. With respect to the second draft resolution /S-1 0X76).
Rev.1], we voted in favour of it because vo deovly
appreciate the economic burdens which have been hmposed
on Zambia by the blockade and wo recognize the common
desire of Members to assist that Government in overy
“appropriate way. to meet the. difficulties. with Which. it is

now confronted, a

38 1 mist say. though, “that we deoply regrot {that certain

proposals wo - made with respect to paragraph 3 of. that
resolution were ignored by the sponsors. We folt that
certain important matters of principle wero involved, For
one thing, it was our Interpretation, at loast, that the
purposes of that resolution were to work to achieve certain
practical ends -that is to say, to ascortaln objectively the
needs of Zambla which had arisen out of the consequences
of the actions that had occurred In the area. We were not
happy about implications of political oyertonos, if you will,
which we read Into the proposal to send an essentially
political mission to oversee the work of a group of United
Nations experts. We also regrettod that what we would
consider the appropriate role of the Scecretary-General was
not underscored with respect to that paragraph, It would
have been appropriate, it scoms to us, to request the
Secretary-Genoral to send the team of expeits referred to to
the scone to make thelr own objective evaluation of the
needs and to report buck to tho Security Council the rosults
of their objective studies, Wo feel sure that such an
objective non-political analysis of the needs would have
done a great deal to encourage Governments and provide
them with a sense of objective understanding of the needs,
which would, in the final analysis, bo very uch in the
interest of Zambia.

36. I merely wished to make those points for the record in
explanation of our vote.

37. Mr. SAFRONCHUK (Union of Soviet Soclalist Republics) (translation from Russian): Mr. President, I should
like to avail myself of this opportunity to congratulate you
on your assumption of the presidency of the Security
Council, to wish you every success in that post and to
assure you that the Soviet delegation will always be ready
to co-operate with you in solving the problems confronting
you,

38, We should also like to express our sincere gratitude
and thanks to Mr, Anwai Sani, representative of Indonesia,
for his extremely effectivo efforts last month in guiding the
work of the Council.

39, The Soviet Union has already had the opportunity,
during the meetings of the Security Council, to expross its
position on the substance of the matter, namely, the
complaint by the Government of Zambia concerning the
acts of aggression by Southern Rhodesia against Zambia. At
the same time, we should like once -again to explain our
position on the draft resolutions adopted today. We should
like to emphasize that the tense situation in which Zambla
now finds itself, brought about by Southern Rhodesia’s acts
of aggression supported by South Africa, is due primarily to
the actions of raclst régimes.

40. In his message, distributed today as document
S/10877, Mr. Kaunda, the President of Zambia, quite
rightly stresses that the main problem now confronting his
country is that “the people of Zambia cannot continue i

this mannor while Rhodesla and South Afvican forcos
violate our territory, kill and mmalm our innocent people and
destroy our property’. In his mossage, President Kaunda
quite corroctly also ralsos the question of the responsibility

of the United Kingdom for the situation that has arison-- _ _
=the United Kingdom which, as he says, “has ropliod with a

loud silence” at a thue when tho racists of Southern

‘Rhodesia and South Africa are becoming more and nore

insolont. Tho main task of tho Security Council, as the
President of Zambia emphasizes, is to take urgent action to
put an end to this critical situation, and he particularly
strosses the need te ensuro tho withdrawal of South African
troops from Southern Rhodesia,

41. We fully agree with the President of Zambia's appraisal
of who is actually responsible for this state of affalrs; we
ogree that the Scewrity Council should take urgent and
effective measures to climinate this intolerable situation,

42. 1t is natural that in these circumstancos the Security
Council can and should react in only one way. Flust, it
should place the rosponsibility for this situation on those
States which bear the direct responsibility for tho racist
régime coming to power in Southern Rhodesia, and for
supporting that régime; sccondly, it should demand the
Immediate withdrawal of South African troops from
Southern Rhodesia; thirdly, it should decide on the
Immediate expansion of the mandatory sanctions of the
Council against Southern Rhodosla; and fourthly, It should
extend the sanctions to South Africa and Portugal, which,
as is well known and as has been repeatedly stressed here in
the dobutos, aro taking an active part in violating the
resolutions of the Council which provide for mandatory
sanctions against Southern Rhodesia. Finally, it would also
be quite logical for the Security Council to take a decision
to the effect that compensation for the damage caused to
Zambia should be paid by those States which bear the real
responsibility for the situation, that is, by the States which
are responsible for the racist régime coming to power in
Southern Rhodesia and which continue to maintain close
contacts and econoinic, trade and other relations with that
régime,

43. As the Soviet delegation has already stressed, any
other approach could be interpreted us meaning that the
Sccurlty Council was reconciled fo the present situation—to
the existence of the racist Smith régime and its acts of
provocation against independent African Statss. it could
also be Interpreted as meaniig that the Council had in fact
concerned itself only with the consequences and not the
causes of this alarming and dangerous state of affalrs,

44, We should also like to point out that for the Security
Council to engage in such activitics us assessing tie
cconomic needs of or the damages suffered by specific
countries- even if such damage is caused by thelr implementation of the Councll’s declstons relating to sanctions--
would be contrary to the obligations of the Council under
tho Charter in this type of situation, where it is essential to
rebuff and punish the aggressors as well as those who abet
them,

45. Under such circumstances, the Soviet delegation supported draft resolution $/10875/Rev.1, although, as we
“a6 Wo must also express our Togat that dt resolution }

have sald, it does not fully take Into account the conditions
that we lald down, Furthermore, we should lke to note
that the: last-minute amendments to the original toxt ey
Woaken x. And. make it logs. Selle eos J

S/10876/Rev.] contains no provisions for placing political

or other responsibility, including componsation for damage,

on those States which are directly responsible for the racist
régime coming to power in Southern Rhodosla and which
continue to this day to maintain close economic, trade and
other contacts with that racist régime, thus helping it to
survive, Furthermore, that draft unfortunately does not
contain the othor key provisions which we havo just
mentioned. For all these reasons, the Soviet delegation was
unable to support that draft resolution and abstained In the
vole on it.

47, Mr. ANWAR SANI (Indonesia): Mr, President, allow
me, before explaining my delegations vote, to make some
brief remarks in response to the flattering words with which
you and other representatives on the Council referred to
my presidency of the Councll during the moath of January.
If my tenure of office was considered successful, that
success was made possible only because of the understanding and co-operation extended to me by the repicaentatives on the Council and by the most efficient manner
in which the members of the Secrotariat assisted me at all
times in the discharge of my duties, For that my delegation
and I arc most grateful,

48. | should like to take this opportunity also to join
provious speakers in congratulating you on assuming the
presidency of the Councll. 1 am certain that, under your
wise and experienced guidance, the Council will be able to
meet in a positive and effective manner the problems
brought to its attention, With you in the Chalr, we can be
sure that the affairs of the Council are in competent hands.
Your handling of the matter under consideration is more
than sufficient proof of your competence. My delegation
pledges you its full co-operation.

49, 1 turn now to the matter before the Council. It may be
remembered that in the debate two days ago [1689th
meeting; 1 stated my delegation's belief that the Sccurity
Council should act promptly to prevent the situation on the
Zumbian border from deterlorating, and that such preven:

‘tive action should be undertaken with the full co-operation

of the United Kingdom Government. The Government of
the United Kingdom, as the administering Power, legally
has the responsibility to take the necessary action required
to guarantee the indigenous people of Zimbabwe the full
enjoyment of their fundamental freedoms. As long us those
rights are denied to them, the situation in southern Africa
will continue to remain explosive. That is clearly demonstrated by the fact that Zambia has become the target of
military and economic pressure by the illegal racist régime
In Salisbury. It was in that light that I stated two days ago
in the Council that the proposals put forward by the
representative of Zumbia fully merited the serious consideration of this Council and that they should be used as a
basis for decisions and for concrete measures to be taken by
the Council,

50. The draft resolutions that were so ably introduced by
the representative of the Sudan and have just been adopted
by the Council ontlrely meet the views of my delegation,
‘My delegation therofore decided. to join Guinea, India,
-- Kenya. the Sudan and Yugoslavia as a sponsor of thoso

- 51, Mr. LECOMPT (France) (interpretation from French):

The French delegation voted In favour of draft resolution
S/10875/Rev.l because of the improvenionts that were
made In the original text. We should not have done so if
those improvements had not been negotiated with the
sponsors of the draft resolution, Those changes and
improvements, we felt, dealt with an important point and
established a better balance In the real responsibilities for a
situation which we all deplore, Tae new over-all wording
does not gecuse the London Government, which has, in
fact, endeavoured to prevent the situation on the spot from
detoriorating and has endeavoured to ald Zambia. We
therefore feel that the new text places better stress on the
acts and responsibilities of the régime of Southern Rhodesia
jtself. Having noted those improvements with satisfaction
on behalf of the French delegation, I would add that our
affirmative vote docs not mean that we approve of all the
provisions of the draft resolution to an equal oxtent. As far
us we are concerned, we do not thiak that it is for us to
dictate to the administering Power its conduct in the region
concerned, We have always felt that the administering
Power should assume the responsibilities incumbent upon
it, even if that task is difficult.

52. With regard to draft resolution $/10876/Rev.1, for
which the French delegation also voted, we certainly should
have preferred the Council to send, not a mission--which,
to us, seems rather large --assisted by experts, but a team of
experts alone or a somewhat smaller mission, since the
authority of the mission and of the experts should bo as
great as possible and focus on the effectiveness of the
efforts made by the Security Council to assist Zambia, its
Government and its economy. However, we preferred not
to abstain on the second draft resolution, basically because
1 think we all want to help Zambia to get out of its present
serious difficulties. For that basic reason, we decided to
support wholeheartedly the proposed effort to help the
Government of Zambia.

53. Mr. JAIN (India): Mr. President, this is the first time
that my delegation has taken the floor since your assumption of the presidency. Allow me, therefore, to offer
you our warm congratulations and to assure you of our
fullest co-operation in the discharge of your duties, In the
context of close und friendly relations existing between
India and Kenya, we are particularly delighted to sce a
distinguished represontative of Kenya and a long-time
friend of India as President of this important organ of the
United Nations, the more so at a time when the Council is
debating a serious problem arising out of the struggle
against forces of colonialism and racism in southern Africa.
We should like to express to you our admiration for the
able und efficient manner in which you have already
conducted our deliberations and brought to a successful
end the protracted consultations which have now led to the
adoption of the two resolutions,
S4. May I also take this opportunity to pay a warm tribute
to Ambassador Anwar Sani of Indonesia for the distinction,
skill, ability and persuasive style with which he presided
over the proceedings of the Council during one of its busy
months.

55. We are glad that these two resolutions have been
adopted and that the Security Council has thus initiated
action which we sincerely hope will have a positive effect
on the present tense situation in southern Africa created by
the aggressive activities of the illegal régime in Southern
Rhodesia with the connivance of the South African
Government. We have joined as co-sponsors of both
resolutions with the confidence that, with their adoption
by such an overwhelming majority, the Security Council
should be able to initiate immediate action to be of
effective assistance to Zambia in the? crisis facing that
country and in de-escalating the situation.

56. While these resolutions have béen adopted, we should
remind ourselves that the situation in that area remains
critical. All of us have just seen the letter which the
President of Zambia has addressed to the Secretary-General
[S/10877] and in which he has pointed ut that tension
continues to rise and wanton acts of aggression underline
the grave threat which the current crisis in southern Africa
poses to international peace and security. Our concern for
and anxiety over this situation and our great admiration of
the people and Government of Zambia for their steadfastness and sacrifices in this crisis remain as before. The
Zambian Government and people have shown commendable restraint and calm in the face of a very grave crisis,
and done everything in their power to prevent escalation of
tension.

57. We should like to express once again our sympathy
and solidarity with Zambia in its hour of trial and our
admiration for its people under the inspiring leadership of
President Kaunda, a great humanist and fighter for freedom. We had been looking forward to welcoming him in
our country on a State visit during which he was to have
received the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for international
peace and understanding, awarded to him in recognition of
his services to that cause. While his visit was unavoidably
postponed due to the present situation, we hope that we
shall have an opportunity of welcoming him soon in our
country.

58. Mr. JANKOWITSCH (Austria): Mr. President, as this is
the first time that my delegation takes the floor under your
presidency, may I briefly use this opportunity to express to
you the congratulations of my delegation upon your
assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the
month of February and to express our satisfaction at seeing
a distinguished representative of your experience and
character occupy this most important post.

59. I should also like to express thanks and a tribute to
the outgoing President of the Council for the month of
January, the Ambassador of Indonesia, Anwar Sani, whose
admirable skill, experience and wise leadership we have all
come to appreciate during the past month as qualities that
have been of tremendous help to all of us, and especially to
the new members in mastering the difficult ways of the
Security Council.

60. I should now like to explain briefly the vote of my
delegation on the draft resolutions just adopted. As will
have been noted, we voted in favour of both draft
resolutions before the Council. The main motive for doing
so—and I tried to explain this in my earlier statement in the
Council [1689th meeting] —was our deep and sincere
concern for the difficult situation in which Zambia was
finding itself after the hostile acts of its neighbour to which
it was exposed.

61. We were deeply impressed by the great degree of
sympathy and solidarity expressed to Zambia by a great
many countries in the Council, by the unanimous sympathy
in the Council, and also by the concurrence and deep
feelings of so many other non-members of the Council,
Members of this Organization. It is not necessary here to
point to the many motives expressed for this great show of
sympathy and solidarity for Zambia, but as far as Austria is
concerned, there is no doubt that, as a small country, we
feel great sympathy for the period of trial in which another
small country, Zambia, finds itself. Being a land-locked
country, we have great sympathy for Zambia, which is itself
a landdocked country, knowing full well the problems
which may result from such a situation.

62. For that reason we felt that, in our deliberations,
Zambia should occupy the main place in the resolutions
adopted by us, and we felt that the unanimous expression
of the sympathy and concern of this Council would be
appropriate. We expressed the feeling, in consultations, that
the two draft resolutions before us were not wholly
conducive to this purpose at the first stage, and we did not
hesitate to express our doubts. The modifications which
have now been accepted have greatly reduced our hesitations and we feel that they represent progress over the text
formerly presented. I cannot hide from the Council that a
number of doubts still exist in the mind cf my delegation
on a number of provisions in the two resolutions, but I
need not elaborate on these points inasmuch as I made our
position clear in my previous statement.

63. Finally, we have been able to overcome whatever
hesitations we felt and we are glad for the widely shared
feeling that has now been expressed by this Council.

64. Mr. KOMATINA (Yugoslavia): Mr. President, since
this is the first time that we have spoken under your
esteemed presidency, let me, on behalf of the Yugoslav
delegation, congratulate you and your delegation on your
assuming the important post of President of the Security
Council for the month of February. The traditional and
deep ties of understanding and co-operation that bind our
two countries—their membership and activity in the great
movement of non-aligned countries which is so dedicated
inter alia to the just and noble causes of Africa—make it a
particular pleasure for me to do so. The warm working
relations that our two delegations have always had in the
United Nations are of particular importance to us. With
your well-known abilities and distinguished experience, we
know that the effective work of this Council during this
month is assured. You will find us always ready to
co-operate fully in your responsible endeavours.

65. To Mr. Anwar Sani of Indonesia, another friendly and
non-aligned country, the President for the month of
January, wo can only say that, whatever was said by us and 2, 1 should like to make a brief statement on this

adequate assistance to that brave State, 75. That is the situation as we judge it. The Government

and people of Zambia are not surprised at the abstention of
the United Kingdom delegation--nor, indeed, of that of the
Uniteu States—and at its fallure to respond decisively to the
grave situation of which the Council has been seized during
the debate on the item. For a long time now the Zambian
Government and people have been suspicious of the real
motives of the United Kingdom, not only with regard to its
colony of Southern Rhodesia but also with regard to the
entire region of southern Africa. The abstention by the
British delegation which wo have just witnessed is therefore
not at all surprising to us. As I have said, it Is a consecration
of the aggressive acts now being committed by those people
in Salisbury,

68. These are some of the reasons which led my delegation
to co-sponsor both texts.

69. The PRESIDENT: 1 call on the representative of
Zambla,

70, Mr. LUSAKA (Zubia): Mr. President, may 1 associate
myself and my delegation with those who have already
congratulated you upon your assumption of the office of
President of the Security Council for this month, Our
personal and official relations, which are very warm indeed,
are a manifestation of the relationship between our two
leaders and our two Governments. Your conduct of the

Council meetings since yesterday has been highly com- 76, The Government and people of Zambia have taken

——— Africa, We regard the -resolution in document S/10875/
statement twee days ogo [1689th meeting]. Having introduced the draft resolutions, however, I. should like to
make one or two brief comments.

ne 78. I should like to rofer particularly to ‘the comment
“made by the British ropresentativo regarding paragraph 4 of

the draft resolution in document S$/10875/Rev.1, which 1
am glad to note has been adopted. It is true that we chose

to Insert our roworded paragraph 7 as paragraph 4, Ale

though we negotiated the final text with the British
delegation, it is true we did not Inform it of the
renumbering. Wo folt, however, that logic dictated whero
tho paragraph should appear in the text—and I must say
that we felt sure that the British delegation fully understood that, The original paragraph 7—-which in a reworded
form became paragraph 4- refers to Southern Rhodesia.
For that reason we placed it after paragraph 3, which refors
by name to Southorn Rhodesia, where we feel Britain has
falled to fulfil its responsibilities. Logic dictated our
placement of the paragraph, for it has no reference to the
origitiel paragraphs 5 and 6, which refor only to South
Africa, That explains why our reworded original paragraph 7 became paragraph 4.

79. In view of our flexibility and the long negotiations, we
had hoped that this draft resolution would be adopted
unanimously. We are slightly disappointed that there were
two abstentions, but we are also pleased that it was actually
adopted by 13 votes in favour,

80. I should now like to express the delight of the
sponsors at the virtually unanimous adoption of the draft
resolution in document S/10876/Rev.1. We know that the
one delegation that abstained did so because it had
expected a much stronger resolution. We hope that the
resolution will be implemented In order to alleviate the
critical situation which Zambia is facing at present because
it has chosen to help the United Nations and the Security
Council in making the sanctions against Southern Rhodesia
more effective. In that way it is also helping the United
Kingdom to fulfil its duty. We are therefore pleased that
this draft resolution las been adopted.

81. To conclude, I should like to say that I agree with
those who have suggested that resolutions in themselves do
not mean much, but I should add that that is the case only
if they are not implemented conscientiously by those who
have the responsibility to implement them,

82, On behalf of the sponsors 1 shouid like to thank all
those who co-operated with us during the long and
protracted negotiations and helped us to achieve the final
texts of the two draft resolutions.

83. The PRESIDENT: As huad of the KENYA delegation,
I wish to make only a few comments on the draft
resolutions the Council has just adopted,

84, In the course of my main statement on the complaint
of Zambla [1688th meeting], 1 pointed out that the
situation in the southern part of Africa provoked by the

persistonce of Portuguese colonialism, the practice of
apartheid by the racist régiae of South Africa and the
persistence of the illegal Smith régime constituted onc of
the gravest threats to peace and security in that aroa today.

85. 1 rogrot to say that, In the course of the dobato, we

“have witnessed efforts_from certain quarters to belittle the

sorlousnoss and the oxplosive nature of the southorn

African situation, 1 should like moroly to note agaln that, _____

because the minority white régimes in southern Africa are
oppressing our poople, because they are liaposing an
ideology en our people—an ideology which we consider to
bo as ropugnant as nazism and fascism wore in Europe
bofore the Second World War—-and because we lave noticed
that these régimes are becoming progressively moro aggressivo, as is tostificd to by the situation we are now
discussing, the African countries are not going to sit idly by
and see aggression committod against Zambia,

86. Woe realize that we are not as powerful militarily as wo
should be, but 1 can assure this Council--and 1 should like
to address these remarks particularly to those countries
which still persist in aiding South Africa and in supporting
the Smith régime—that there is still time to save the
situation and to help us avoid bloodshed, But to the extent
that those countries ald the Smith régime and the racist
régime in South Africa, they are helping to create a
situation which will end in confrontation between the
peoples of Africa and the minority white régimes of
southern Africa. I can say without any fear of contradiction
that, to the extent that these minority régimes are aided
and abetted, to that very extent the confrontation between
the African peoples and the minority whites in southern
Africa becomes inevitable.

87. That is a thought that makes many of us feel liumble
because we know that the African people are not going to
sit with their arms folded when our own people are kept
constantly and perpotually under white domination, when
independent African States like Zambia are being sure

rounded by these illegal régimes. I think the African people °

have already taken a decision that, if these white minorities
commit aggression against Zambia or any other indepen:
dent African country, we shall go out and use any means or
any tools within our reach to fight back to vindicate our
freedom, That is the situation in a nutshell.

88. My delegation is happy that some of the vital
provisions of the draft: resolutions we co-sponsored have
been adopted. What now remains Is action to salvage the
independence, cconomic sovereignty and dignity of the
Zambian people.

89. Speaking now as the PRESIDENT, I should like to
draw the Council's attention to the provisions of operative
