of Mozambique,

Gravely concerned at the situation created by the provocative and aggressive

Reaffirming the inalienable right of the people of Southern Rhodesia

Recalling its resolution 253 (1968) of 29 May 1968 imposing sanctions against
Southern Rhodesia,

Recalling further its pescluticns 277 (1970) of 18 Merch 1.970 and

Noting with appreciation the decision of the Government of Mozambique to

accordance with the decision of the Council and in strict observance of economic
sanctions,

Considering that this decision constitutes an important contribution to the

with the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations,

Recognizing that the action of the Government of Mozambique is in accordance
with resolution 253 (1968),

Bearing in mind the provisions of Articles 49 and 50 of the Charter of the

The agenda was adopted.

Request by Mozambique under Article 50 of the Charter
of the United Nations in relation to the situation
which has arisen as a result of its decision to impose
sanctions against Southern Rhodesia in full implementation of the relevant decisions of the Security
Council:

Telegram dated 10 March 1976 from the Minister
for Foreign Affairs of Mozambique to the President
of the Security Council (§/12009)

1. The PRESIDENT (interpretation from French):
In accordance with the decisions taken at the 1890th
meeting, I shall now invite the representative of
Mozambique to take a place at the Council -table.
I shall also invite the representatives of Egypt, Jamaica,
Kenya and Zambia to participate in the discussion
without vote.

At the invitation of the President, Mr. Chissano
(Mozambique) took a place at the Council table. and
Mr. Abdel Meguid (Egypt), Mr. Thompson (Jamaica)
Mr. Maina (Kenya) and Mr. Kamana (Zambia) took

the places reserved for them at the side of the Council
chamber.

2. Mr. LECOMPT (France) (interpretation from
French): Mr. President, first of ali I wish to congratulate you and to express the very special satisfaction
of the French delegation at seeing you as President of
the Council for the month of March. My delegation
wishes you the greatest success for the good of your
country, to which France has for many years been
bound by links of friendship, as well as for the good
of Africa and the Organization as a whole.

3. Ishould also like to take this opportunity to request
the representative of the United States to convey to
Ambassador Moynihan our most sincere congratulations on the authority and courtesy with which he
presided over our work during the month of February.

4. The question ‘on our agenda leaves no room for
controversy. The situation is clear: one of the new
Members of the Organization, Mozambique, has
announced its decision to implement fully the sanctions against Rhodesia. That decision is all the more
courageous and deserving of praise because Mozambique has inherited by its history and its geography
a situation of close natural dependence on Southern
Rhodesia, particularly i in the fields of economics and
transportation.

5. Each of us has applauded the determination shown
by the Government in Maputo, and each of us has been
aware of the magnitude of the challenge which it has
to face. The French delegation: wishes to ‘assure
Mozambique of its total support in its efforts to render
more effective the decisions of the United Nations
and thus contribute to the establishment of j justice and
freedom in Southern Rhodesia.

6. It is only just, as many speakers before me have
stressed; in particular the representative of Jamaica
speaking in the name of the Commonwealth [1890th
meeting}, that the international community should
provide assistance to one of the Governments which
has imposed the heaviest sacrifices on itself in the
application of sanctions against Rhodesia. The Security
Council had already, in the operative part of resolution 253 (1968), requested Member States

“to extend assistance to Zambia as a matter of
priority with a view to helping it solve such special
economic problems as it may be confronted with
arising from the carrying out of these [sanctions].

It was part of the logic and the spirit of that resolution
that the same urgent measures should be taken with
respect to independent Mozambique.

7. My delegation has listened with great attention to
the information given to us by the Minister for Foreign
Affairs of Mozambique [ibid.]. The many different
problems raised by the decision taken by his Government and by the inevitably short time accorded us
of course make it impossible for us to take a decision
right now on the requests which have been submitted.

8. The accession of Mozambique to independence,
after all, is quite recent, and France has not yet been
able to establish continuous bilateral relations with
that country. For this reason our knowledge of the
local situation is somewhat unclear at this time. At
any rate, it appears desirable to us that the Secretary-General should proceed with Member States to an
exchange of information as soon as his experts have
assessed precisely the most urgent needs in Mozambique and the most appropriate means of meeting them.
I should like, of course, to assure the Minister for
Foreign Affairs of Mozambique that my Government
will consider the problems of his country with the
greatest understanding as soon as actual contacts have
been established between the authorities in Mozambique and the future representative of France.

9. The decision of the Council to impose sanctions
against Rhodesia reflects, by its exceptional character,
the seriousness of the situation we must face. The
Minister for Foreign Affairs of Mozambique has
reminded us that a disquieting situation of tension
prevails in the region. The causes of that tension
are well known to the United Nations. They lie in the
opposition of the Ian Smith régime to the unanimous
decisions of the Council. That is why, regardless of
whatever disappointment may have been felt at the
relative ineffectiveness of the sanctions against Rhodesia, they should be applied and even reinforced. As
has been emphasized by the representative of Tanzania [ibid.], they reflect the determination of the international community not to allow the perpetuation of an
illegal and unjust régime.

10. My delegation has repeatedly recalled the fact that
the problem with which we are now confronted is
political. It concerns the authority of the unanimous
international community and the dignity of Africa,
which clearly belongs first and foremost to the
Africans. My Government strongly hopes that the
Salisbury régime will wake up to the fact that the
situation in Southern Rhodesia since 1965 is not
accepted by any nation, that it cannot be defended by
anyone and that that majority rule must be established
as soon as possible. For all these reasons, my delegation will whole-heartedly vote in favour of the draft
resolution [$/12013] to be put to the vote.

11. Mr. KHARLAMOY (Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics) (interpretation from Russian): In conformity with the excellent tradition that has already
grown up, let me first, on behalf of my country, thank
you, Mr. President, and wish you success in the
responsible tasks that you will have to discharge
during the month of March as President of the Security
Council. We not only hope, we are convinced that your
experience, your knowledge and your attitude with
respect to questions of decolonization will have
a beneficial effect on the solution of the very complex
problems which must be discussed by the Council in
the remaining weeks of this month.

12. 1 should also like to pay a deserved tribute to
your predecessor, although we frequently disagreed
with him, but that is inevitable when States with different social structures and ideologies meet around
the Council table. Nevertheless, together with his
colleagues in his delegation, his month was marked by
events that will go down in the history of the activities
of the Council.

13. The valiant decision taken by the Government of
Mozambique in introducing sanctions against the
racist minority régime in Southern Rhodesia is dictated
by a number of reasons, and primarily by a sense of
international solidarity felt by the people of Mozambique with the struggle being waged by all other
peoples of former colonial countries, and primarily of
solidarity with the people of Southern Rhodesia, or,
as this part of Africa which is still under colonial
domination is rightly called, Zimbabwe. This is why
that decision of the Government of Mozambique was
everywhere highly commended and was respected by
all States which are trying to destroy colonialist
domination, neo-colonialism, racism, apartheid and
other such phenomena that still remain from the
colonial past.

14. In the telegram addressed to you, Mr. President,
the Government of Mozambique

‘‘appeals to the Security Council to take the
necessary steps to help the people of Mozambique
defend itself by every means against the aggression
to which it has been subjected by the rebel Ian
Smith” [$/12009]. :

In his statement here yesterday when he spoke at the
meeting of the Security Council, the Minister for
Foreign Affairs of Mozambique adduced additional
convincing facts demonstrating the criminal activities
of the racist minority in Southern Rhodesia against
the People’s Republic of Mozambique. In the statements of a number of representatives to which we
have listened carefully here, and primarily those of the
countries of Africa, in the statements made by the
representatives of Kenya and Zambia, as well as
Jamaica, Sweden, Pakistan and others, additional
convincing proof was produced showing that the
racist régime of Ian Smith is perpetrating armed
aggression against a member State ofthe Organization
of African Unity and a Member of the United Nations.

15. As the telegram of the Secretary-General of the
Organization of African Unity of 12 March shows
[S/12004/Add.1, para. 2], this situation is alarming and
is threatening peace and security in the area. The
same telegram goes on to point out that the decision
of 3 March regarding the unswerving implementation
of international sanctions whereby the Government of
Mozambique would sever all road, air, and rail communications with Southern Rhodesia is in full accord
with resolutions of the United Nations.

16. As is known, the Government of Mozambique
also appealed to the United Nations to display solidarity with the people of Mozambique in this very
difficult hour for that Republic. The appeal of the
Government of Mozambique has been heard with
sympathy by all those who are in favour of the speedy
eradication of the colonial past and the removal of the
colonialist and racist régimes existing in southern
Africa. The countries of Africa and all those which
fully understand the problem of the complete and
final abolition of colonialism have stated that they
regard the aggression by Southern Rhodesia against
Mozambique as tantamount to aggression against all
States Members of the United Nations and members
of the Organization of African Unity, and they have
assured Mozambique that they fully support its efforts
to guarantee the freedom and independence of that
country.

17. In the Security Council and in other bodies of
the United Nations, the Soviet delegation has frequently had the occasion resolutely to condemn the
existence of the illegal racist régime in Southern
Rhodesia and has also condemned its aggressive acts
against the peoples of African countries, including
those perpetrated against the People’s Republic of
Mozambique. Precisely because of this position which
we hold, we feel it is essential that the Council should
take effective steps to implement United Nations
resolutions aimed at enabling the people of Southern
Rhodesia, of Zimbabwe, to exercise their inalienable
right to self-determination and independence.

18. In this connexion, the position of the Soviet
Union is quite clear. It has always been clear on the
question of decolonization since the United Nations
first adopted its well-known Declaration on decolonization [General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV)].
We are firmly and consistantly in favour of colonialism being abolished everywhere, once and for all.
We are firmly in favour of all peoples having complete
political and economic independence. We are, and have
been, in favour of assistance to every country fighting
for its independence against all forms of repression
and exploitation. The Soviet State has always pursued
this policy and will continue to do so. At the recent
25th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, the General Secretary of the Party's Central
Committee, Comrade Brezhnev, said in his report:

‘Our Party supports and will continue to support
peoples fighting for their freedom. In so doing, the
Soviet Union does not look for advantages, does
not hunt for concessions, does not seek political
domination, and is not after military bases. We act
as we are bid by our revolutionary conscience, our
communist convictions.”

I would repeat that what our Party and our Government said is that we fully practise what we preach.

19. In our opinion, the draft resolution presented to
the Council [$//2013] contains some very important
provisions which we hope will be unanimously supported by the Security Council. This draft quite
properly points out that the Council is gravely concerned at the situation created by the provocative
and aggressive acts committed by the illegal minority
régime in Southern Rhodesia against the security and
territorial integrity of the People’s Republic of Mozambique. It also indicates the need to condemn the
heinous policy of provocation pursued by the lan
Smith régime. The draft resolution appeals to all
States to provide immediate financial, technical and
material assistance to Mozambique so that Mozambique can carry out its economic development programme normally.

20. In this connexion, we should like to state that the
Soviet Union is not only lending moral support is
already but is rendering the necessary substantial
material assistance to the People’s Republic of Mozambique as well. A month ago a number of agreements
were signed between our Government and the Government of Mozambique, according to which it is planned
that economic, technical and other assistance needed
at this time will be given to the People’s Republic of
Mozambique.

21. Finally, as the Soviet delegation has frequently
stated here in discussing questions of decolonization,
it would be only right for the Security Council, in
adopting a resolution on assistance to be given to
African States in connexion with the application of
sanctions against the racist minority régime, to bear in
mind the possibility of making those States are, in
fact, politically responsible for maintaining the racist
régime in Southern Rhodesia, those States which
continue to maintain close economic and other contacts
with that country, bear the burden of compensation
for damage caused. Certain representatives and certain
States could be asked today why they continue to
entertain these contacts and why they continue to
assist the illegal régime in Southern Rhodesia and help
it to perpetrate its misdeeds against neighbouring
countries.

. 22. Unfortunately, I cannot fail to say something

about the statement made by one representative at this
morning's meeting [/89/st meeting]. That representative touched upon a question which has no relation
at all to the item before us. He discussed the question
of Angola, once again repeating the sort of malicious
nonsense which we have come to expect from the
representatives of his country in various organs of the
United Nations. The Chinese have a saying which we
always recall: if you want to know someone, look at
his friends first. Who have been the friends of that
delegation during the well-known events in Angola?
The racists in South Africa and a number of imperialist
circles from those countries which did not help Angola
to become independent but struggled against the independence of Angola, against the legitimate Government
of Angola, helping the illegal and fractious elements
and mercenaries. These were China's friends in
Angola.

23. As to the Soviet Union's attitude towards the
peoples’ struggle for liberation, this is what is said in
the report of the General Secretary of our Party,
Mr. Brezhnev, to the 25th Congress in connexion
with Angola:

*¢... take the People’s Republic of Angola. As soon
as it was born, this progressive State became on
object of foreign intervention, the handiwork of
imperialism and South African racists, the mortal

enemies of independent Africa, and also those who
undertook . the unseemly role of their henchmen.
That was why Angola’s struggle for independence
was supported by the world’s progressive forces,
and the success of this struggle testified once again
that nothing can crush the peoples’ the aspiration
to freedom.

“The Soviet Union’s attitude to the complicated
processes taking place within the developing coun-
_ tries is clear and definite. The Soviet Union does not
interfere ‘in the internal affairs of other countries
and peoples. It is an immutable principle of our
Leninist foreign policy to respect the sacred right of
every people, every country, to choose its own way
‘of development. But we do not conceal our views.
In the developing countries, as everywhere else,
we are on the side of the forces of progress,
democracy and national independence and regard
them as friends and comrades in struggle.”

The Soviet Union has frequently repeated this position. Our country has also been pursuing this policy
in Angola by helping the fraternal people of Angola to
defend and strengthen its independence. .

24. You know who are the friends of the country of
the representative who spoke this morning: the group
which opposed the legal Government and disbanded,
since it had become clear to all that its struggle was
criminal, illegal and against the interests of the people.

25. Ishould like to finish here, because we shall have
another occasion to talk about this subsequently:

26. Mr. SAIT O (Japan): Mr. President, 1 should
like to'begin by congratulating you upon your assump-

tion of the ‘presidency. My delegation feels confident
that your diplomatic skill and experience will enable
you to guide our deliberations successfully and that
with you in the chair the Council will live up to its
responsibilities in the month of March.

27. 1 wish also to pay -a tribute to Ambassador
Moynihan of the United States for his ‘excellent
service as President last month. My delegation regrets
his decision to return to his duties at one of the great
American universities, but was delighted that he was
able nevertheless to continue his duties as President
of the Council during February. We should be grateful
if Ambassador Sherer would be kind enough to convey
our gratitude and good wishes to Mr. Moynihan.

28. 1 should like to extend a very warm welcome
to His Excellency Mr. Chissano, Minister for Foreign
Affairs of the People’ Ss Republic of Mozambique.

29. The delegation of Japan welcomes the decision
of the Government of the People’s Republic of Mozambique to close its borders and enforce sanctions against
Southern Rhodesia, effective from 3 March, in accordance with the relevant United Nations resolutions.
I am confident that this courageous decision will prove
to be a fatal blow to the Smith régime, whose overseas trade is dependent to a great extent upon Mozambique for access to world markets.

30. In 1968 the Security Council imposed mandatory
sanctions against Southern Rhodesia for the first time
in the history of the United Nations. Nevertheless,
the Smith régime has managed to withstand the effects
of concerted international action by means of gaps
which resulted from the non-compliance with sanctions
by South Africa and Portugal, which administered
Mozambique until it became independent last year.

31. ‘My delegation has long believed that mandatory
sanctions of any kind will not have maximum effectiveness if they are not applied faithfully by all States,
without exception. In this context we believe that the
recent decision by the People’s Republic of: Mozambique, which has close economic ties with Southern
Rhodesia through their common border, will have a
great impact on the Smith régime. It demonstrates
also the firm support of the people of Mozambique
for the people of Zimbabwe in their struggle for justice
and human dignity, which have so long been denied
them: .

32." My delegation, however, recognizes at the same
time how seriously the people of Mozambique will be
affected economically and socially by their decision.
Because of its geographical location, Mozambique's
economy is closely related to that of Southern Rhodesia. This fact, and the serious consequences of the full
application of sanctions against Southern Rhodesia,
were eloquently explained by the Foreign Minister of
Mozambique in his statement yesterday before the
Council. Inevitably, Mozambique’s decision to close
the border will markedly affect Mozambique's
‘economy as well. My delegation took note with the
utmost sympathy of the appeal made by the Foreign
Minister of Mozambique for material assistance from
the international community.

33. In fact, the international community has
applauded the decision of the People’s Republic of
Mozambique and has already expressed its preparedness to supply the necessary assistance. The Organization of African Unity has appealed: for ‘‘massive
assistance’’. The Commonwealth Sanctions Committee has made recommendations impressing upon the
Commonwealth Governments the need to react
urgently in accordance with the agreement reached
at the Kingston heads of Government meeting.

34. In view of this background, it is timely and
appropriate for the Security Council to take urgent and
concrete action, in response to the decision by the
People’s Republic of Mozambique, to lighten the
additional burden it assumed as a result of this
enormous sacrifice in the cause of justice. :

35. My delegation is prepared to support any proposal
calling upon Member States to help meet the urgent
needs of Mozambique which have arisen from its
implementation of United Nations mandatory sanctions. Indeed, my delegation hopes that Member
States, bearing in mind Articles 49 and 50 of the
Charter, will provide the necessary economic and
financial assistance to Mozambique to enable it to
continue ‘to implement fully the sanctions against
Southern Rhodesia. Therefore, I hope that Member
States will respond favourably to the Security Council’s appeal for assistance to Mozambique. My delega-

tion hopes that the Secretary-General likewise will take.

the urgent measures necessary to arrange systematic
assistance of all kinds to Mozambique by organizing
the United Nations family to provide it, as he gd
for Zambia i in 1973.

36. As a general rule it is useful, as a first step,
to keep the international community informed on the
pressing needs of a country that requires international
assistance. Accordingly, my delegation believes that
from a practical point of view it is preferable to send
a mission to Mozambique to discuss with the People’s
Republic the types of goods urgently needed, the
quantities, the priorities and other matters, so that
the assistance can be promptly and effectively
provided.

37. However, we are fully aware of the gravity of
the situation and the necessity for the speedy supply
of assistance to Mozambique, as has been emphasized
by the Foreign Minister of Mozambique and other
" speakers. We were delighted, therefore, to note that
after the adoption of the draft resolution under consideration, the Secretary-General intends to send his
representative to Mozambique to discuss with’ the
Government methods of providing speedy and effective

assistance. Hence those countries which are not
familiar with the types and methods of assistance
required can rely upon his advice regarding Mozambique’s most pressing needs. .

38. Yesterday the Foreign Minister of Mozambique
gave us a most useful outline of the economic sacrifices
that his country’s decision to apply sanctions will
entail and the outside help that will be needed.

39. In those circumstances my delegation finds it
desirable that the Council take urgent action calling
upon the international community to provide speedy
economic and financial assistance to Mozambique.
The Council's adoption of a resolution to that effect,
and the full implementation of that resolution by Member. States, will give another demonstration of the
unshaken determination of the United Nations to
establish justice and human dignity in Southern Rhodesia, where the people of Zimbabwe are still subjected
to white-supremacy rule. Nobody will doubt that in
giving support to the people of Mozambique we are in
fact supporting the people of Zimbabwe in this just
cause. We are confident that the Council is united
in following this course, and that the international
community will respond positively with moral and
material assistance to Mozambique.

40. In this spirit Japan has become a sponsor of
draft resolution S/12013, and we hope that it will be
adopted unanimously. Japan has strongly supported
economic sanctions against Southern Rhodesia. We
responded quickly to the urgent needs of Zambia in
1973 by providing substantial amounts of assistance.
In the case of Mozambique, Japan will do its best to
respond to the Council’s resolution by co-operating
with the international community. In order to facilitate
that co-operation, Japan is looking forward to the
earliest possible establishment of full diplomatic relations with the Government of Mozambique. .

41. Let us now strengthen. our solidarity with the
people of Zimbabwe and step up the pressure of the
international community by tightening the sanctions
against Southern Rhodesia. Let us help those who
suffer as a result of the implementation of these
sanctions. Prompt and effective action by the Council
to help the people of Mozambique assuredly will bring
us a step nearer to a solution of the problem of Southern
Rhodesia, which is more urgent than ever.

42. ‘Mr. BENNETT (United States of America): Let
me first ‘congratulate ‘you, Sir, on your assumption
of the presidency of the Council. My delegation looks
forward to working very closely with you and to giving
you every feasible support as the Council discusses
problems of major importance to us all.

43. 1 would like also to express appreciation for the
kind and generous remarks made by you and by other
members of the Council in respect to the Presidency of
the Council during the month of February. I am also
grateful for the statements of gracious wishes in regard
to Ambassador Scranton, the new Permanent Repre-

sentative of the United States, who will be arriving
here this week to take up his new duties. I shall with.

much pleasure convey those wishes to him.

44. The delegation of the United States is pleased
to join with the other delegations that have spoken to
commend the Government of Mozambique for its
decision to enforce fully mandatory sanctions against
the illegal Government in Rhodesia. We believe this
decision represents a major step forward in the efforts
of the United Nations to enforce sanctions and thereby
bring an end to minority rule in Rhodesia.

45. lt is the sincere hope of my Government that the
enforcement of sanctions by Mozambique will be
coupled with the adoption by the Council of a resolution on assistance to Mozambique which is placed
in the context of Article 50 of the Charter. We believe
that the support of the Council for Mozambique will be
a clear sign to the régime in Salisbury that the United
Nations is committed to the peaceful transition to
majority rule which is so urgently needed in that
country.

46. Accordingly, the United States will vote in favour |

of the draft resolution before us [S//2013], because
we take its purpose to be twofold: first, to issue an
appeal for assistance to Mozambique under Article 50
of the Charter, as Mozambique has properly and commendably imposed sanctions on Rhodesia’s minority
Government and accordingly has reason to seek
recourse under Article 50; and secondly, to demonstrate that the Council speaks with one voice on
Rhodesian matters. There should be no doubt that
the Council favours the urgent implementation of
majority rule in Rhodesia.

47. Ishallhave to say frankly that we are disappointed
that the draft resolution contains a number of elements
which do not bear on its main objectives. The charges
of aggression in the third paragraph of the preamble
and in operative paragraph 2 undoubtedly deserve
careful attention. But my Government wishes to
make clear that it does not regard them as related to
the appeal which the Council is making on behalf of
Mozambique under Article 50. We view that appeal
as premised solely on Mozambique’s compliance with
resolutions 232 (1966) and 253 (1968) and the costs
which ensue from that compliance.

48. We would normally have abstained on this draft
resolution because of the insertion of those references.
In fact, we did so in a similar situation in the Council
in 1973. Today, however, we shall vote in favour,
with the explanation I have just given, in order to leave
no doubt that we support the principal purpose of this
draft resolution as well as the purpose of resolutions
232 (1966) and 253 (1968), which it reinforces.

49. My Government will give favourable consideration to assistance to Mozambique in offsetting the

heavy financial burdens that it will incur by closing its
border with Rhodesia.

50. The United States remains unequivocal in its
support for the efforts of the British Government to
bring an end to the rebellion in Rhodesia. We continue
to believe strongly that majority rule is a vital and
urgent necessity in Rhodesia. I call the Council's
particular attention to the statement in Chicago by
President Ford on 13 March:

“*The United States is totally dedicated to seeing
to it that the majority becomes the ruling power in
Rhodesia.”

The President added:

“If we believe in the right of the majority to rule
in that situation, there has to be a change in the
power as far as the Government is concerned.
Whether it can be done is a question that we have
‘to face. The British Government has tried for years
to get Smith to move. The United States has been
pushing. I think they just have to move, and if they
don’t... we have to be on the right side morally,
and the right side morally is to be for majority rule.”

On 16 March—yesterday—Secretary of State Kissinger made the following statement to the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee:

*‘In Southern Rhodesia we are not supporting the
white Government or the white authorities... I, in
this statement before the Committee, again made
clear that we stand for majority rule and we will do
nothing to support the white minority to continue
to exercise authority in Rhodesia.

“So what we can do about it in any given
instance depends on the circumstances, but we have
to make clear what we stand for, and then we have
to work towards it.”

51. I believe these statements make very clear where
the United States stands on the Rhodesian question.
It is time for true self-determination and for majority
rule in Rhodesia.

52. Mr. BOYD (Panama) (interpretation from Spanish): Sir, in speaking for the first time in the month
of Marchi, it is my very pleasant duty to convey to
you the most cordial greetings of the delegation of
Panama on your assumption of the Presidency of the
Security Council, as well as to assure you of our full
co-operation for the success of your delicate mission.

53. We should like to express our thanks to the
outgoing President, Ambassador Daniel Patrick
Moynihan, for the appropriate manner in which: he
discharged his functions during the month of February,
a period during which he guided our debates with
fairness and skill.
54. In considering the request of the Government of
Mozambique contained in the agenda, we should like
to commence our statement by expressing our warm
thanks for the presentation of the situation made
yesterday afternoon by the Minister for Foreign Affairs
of Mozambique, Mr. Joaquim Alberto Chissano, who
came to New York especially for that purpose. We
also thought it was very good to have the reminder
given us by the Minister for External Affairs of
Jamaica, Mr. Dudley Thompson, of the meeting held
at Kingston in May 1975, in which there was a
discussion of, among other things, methods of assistance to Mozambique in connexion with its present
situation vis-a-vis Southern Rhodesia.

55. The decision taken on 3 March by the newly
independent People’s Republic of Mozambique to
implement fully the sanctions called for in United
Nations resolutions against the illegal régime in
Rhodesia, such as the closing of borders and the
suspension of all forms of communication with that
country, has had considerable impact on some of the
basic sectors of Mozambique’s economy.

56. As we all know, the colonial type of economy
developed by Portugal in Mozambique had established
_ close links between that country and the racist régimes

of South Africa and Rhodesia. The ports and the whole

communications network -between South Africa,
Rhodesia and Mozambique are very closely interwoven. Mozambican manpower was utilized in
Rhodesia and South Africa for work in the mines
and on farms in return for ridiculously low wages.
Mozambique supplied raw materials and fuel to those
countries at low prices and, as a result, was the
logical market for South African and Rhodesian
products.

57. Mr. Chissano explained to us in clear and specific
terms why it has become necessary to transform the
economy of his country, for which purpose annual
compensation equivalent to $49 million will be
required. I believe I speak for Panama and all Latin
America in saying that it is up to the United Nations
and all Member States to fulfil the obligation of
assisting Mozambique, just as was done in the similar
case of Zambia, in order to offset the adverse economic
consequences and the problems which it has to confront as the result of the closure of its borders with
Southern Rhodesia.

58. 1am certain that the Security Council is in favour
of giving the Secretary-General the necessary authorization to study, by joint agreement with the Government of Mozambique, the means to provide the
necessary technology and to make the necessary
efforts to obtain appropriate financing in order to
carry out those projects which would make it possible
to create in Mozambique new structures and sources
of employment.

59. In connexion with the problem of Southern
Rhodesia, the delegation of Panama wishes to restate

once again its strong anti-colonialist position against
all forms of discrimination, in particular against racial
discrimination.

60. From the very outset we supported the sanctions
against the illegal régime of Ian Smith. And, although
we do not believe that the sanctions imposed against
the Salisbury Government by the international community have had the desired effect on that racist
régime, we do believe that prolonged isolation has
been fostering a situation of progressive deterioration
which in becoming increasingly -more serious for the
oppressors. The attitude adopted by Mozambique
will be of considerable assistance in getting the
usurping régime, in one way or another, to abandon
its policy of exploitation and slavery of the majority
of the population, which alone should decide the
destiny of Southern Rhodesia.

61. Panama has suffered for almost all of this century
because of the discriminatory policy that has been
followed by the Government of the United States in the
so-called Panama Canal Zone. We know what racial
discrimination is when it comes to wages and opportunities, to education, to housing and any kind of
discrimination for reason of skin colour, because we
have suffered it in our own flesh and on our own
soil.

62. The Government of Panama is of the view that
the economic sanctions against Southern Rhodesia,
even though they are ‘not as effective as we would
want, do constitute a form of pressure against the
rebellious régime, and we advocate that these sanctions
be applied in the broadest and most rigorous possible
manner.

63. We have co-sponsored with great sympathy draft
resolution S/12013, which aims at putting forward
concerted measures on the part of the international
community to provide financial, technical and
material assistance on an emergency basis to Mozambique. We have no ‘doubt that the adoption of this
draft resolution will have a favourable impact in the
struggle to reaffirm the inalienable right of the people
of Zimbabwe to self-determination and independence.

64. The present Revolutionary Government of
Panama, conscious of its anti-colonialist position and
being an advocate of any policy which runs counter to
any type of discrimination, takes this opportunity to
state once again that it wishes to help the Government and people of Mozambique in. their valiant
attitude in the face of the illegal régime of lan Smith,
at the same time as we express solidarity with the
people of Zimbabwe, which we hope will very soon be
legitimately represented in the United Nations.

65. The PRESIDENT (interpretation Jrom French):
I will now make a statement in my capacity as representative of BENIN.
66. My delegation is gratified that our brother
Joaquim Alberto Chissano, the Minister for Foreign
Affairs of the People’s Republic of Mozambique, is
participating in our discussions. His clear and precise
statement has, without a shadow of a doubt, made it
possible for all Council members to have a very clear
idea of the immediate and long-term needs of Mozambique as a result of the courageous and historic decision taken by the Government and the people of that
young People’s Republic, mobilized by: FRELIMO
[Front for the Liberation of Mozambique}, to apply
the economic sanctions imposed by the United Nations
against the rebellious racist minority régime of Ian
Smith, which was illegally set up by a handful of whites
in Zimbabwe. -My delegation would also like to
welcome the participation in our discussions of the
Minister for External Affairs of Jamaica, Mr. Dudley
Thompson. His statement to the Council yesterday is
an eloquent proof of the commitment of his country,
which is a member of the non-aligned movement and
which hosted the last Commonwealth Conference,
where the important decision was taken to help
Mozambique, once it became independent, if it were to
seek to apply the sanctions of the Council against
Rhodesia as part of its struggle against the minority
régimes in southern Africa. My delegation welcomes
that decision taken by the Commonwealth heads of
State, which was a very forward-looking one and
which will undoubtedly have a practical impact."

67. If any doubt existed earlier about its importance
and scope, I think that now, after having heard the
Minister for Foreign Affairs of Mozambique, we can
appreciate the full measure of the sacrifice involved in
the decision of the Government of Mozambique which
was publicly announced by President Samora Machel
in his statement of 3 March [$/7/2005]. The People’s
Republic of Benin warmly welcomes that heroic act,
which will go down as an important date in the history
of the decolonization of southern Africa, and pledges
itself to render this fraternal country all the necessary
political, material and moral assistance which it needs
to pursue its new national policy which is in accordance
with the main policies of the Organization of African
Unity and the decisions of the United Nations. For its
part, the Central Committee of the People’s Revolution
Party of Benin, which met on 9 March, proclaimed
‘its militant. support to Mozambique in its struggle
against racism, apartheid and neo-colonialism™’.

68. The political act just accomplished by Mozambique will be better understood if it is realized that the
economy of that country is closely linked with the
economy of the racist minority régimes which have
been set up in southern Africa and whose time is now
running out. Furthermore, if we take into account the
fact that certain other countries, which because of
their distant locations and their economic power would
have no difficulty in applying these economic sangtions to give force and credibility to the decisions of
the Council, take pleasure in a flagrant violation of the
sanctions, thus supporting the rebellious régife of

Ian Smith as it continues indefinitely to defy our
Organization, we cannot but be proud of the courage
and the patriotism evinced by the People’ Ss Republic
of Mozambique.

69. “This i is a serious warning to the minority régimes
in southern Africa. Smith and his régime will have to
understand that this is no longer the time for political
manceuvres to mislead national opinion and that the
time has now arrived for serious negotiations with the
overwhelming black majority in order to set up in
Zimbabwe a Government which reflects the real social
physiognomy of the country. Smith and his régime must
understand that the noose is tightening closer and
closer around them, and as certain delegations have
suggested, it is necessary to take advantage of the last
chance for a transfer of power to the black majority
without too much bloodshed. Smith and his régime
must understand that the incursions of their police
forces into the territory of Mozambique will not be
enough to intimidate an entire people which is resolute
and mobilized side by side with. the Zimbabwe liberation movement and that, as Mr. Chissano has. said,
the people of Mozambique is prepared to answer any
acts of provocation coming from Southern Rhodesia.

70. As I said at the beginning of this statement,
Mozambique’s record is clear and we must act so that
Smith may realize that Mozambique enjoys the
effective support of the international community as a
whole and that, thanks to its national will and the
various kinds of assistance our community is giving
it, it is determined to wage a long and decisive struggle
which will lead the black majority of Zimbabwe to
final victory. Serious warnings must be given to Smith
and his régime in the form of a resolute condemnation of the acts of aggression against Mozambique,
and all of Africa and the international Organization
must commit themselves to give that country the
military and material support necessary to rebuff any
incursion and, if need be, to carry the war into the
heart of Southern Rhodesia.

71. That is why my delegation hopes that the draft
resolution now before the Council, which our brother
Ambassador Salim of Tanzania introduced so eloquently yesterday, will be unreservedly supported
and unanimously adopted, so that the Secretary-General canimmediately get down tothe work required
in order to give the People’s Republic of Mozambique
urgently needed help pending an assessment and future
action on the part of the Organization. This text is
the very least Africa could ask for in the present
context.

72. Before concluding my remarks, I should like to
draw the attention of the members of the Council to
the fact that the Co-ordinating Committee of Non-Aligned Countries met in. -New York on Tuesday,
16 March, and published the following declaration:

“The Co-ordinating Committee of Non-Aligned -
Countries met in New York on Tuesday, 16 March
. 1976. On that occasion, it heard the Minister for
Foreign Affairs “of Mozambique, who gave .an
account of the situation prevailing in his country.

~ “The Minister for Foreign Affairs informed
members of the aggression which has been perpetrated by the illegal régime of Salisbury against
the People’s Republic of Mozambique and recalled
the steps taken by his Government against Rhodesia ‘pursuant to the pertinent resolutions of the
General Assembly and the Security Council.

“The Co-ordinating Committee expresses fervent
indignation at the cowardly aggression which has
been visited upon Mozambique by the illegal régime
of Salisbury. -

“The ‘Co-ordinating Committee expresses its
active and total solidarity with the Government and
people of Mozambique in their struggle to consolidate their independence and their territorial
integrity. Therefore it supports the courageous
steps taken by the Government of the People’s
Republic of Mozambique which are designed to
strengthen the sanctions adopted by the United
Nations and are an important and positive contribution to the struggle waged by the people of Zimbabwe
for its liberty and its independence.

“On this occasion, the Co-ordinating Committee, -

in accordance with the decisions taken by the heads
.of State and Government of Non-Aligned Countries,

_ reaffirms its indefatigable support for the liberation
struggle waged by African peoples which are the
victims of colonial oppression and domination. It
makes an urgent appeal to all members of the nonaligned movement and to the international community as a whole to provide immediate and effective assistance in order to shore up the economy
of the young Republic of Mozambique and to step
up aid to the movement for the liberation of
Zimbabwe.”

73. In my capacity as PRESIDENT, I now call on
the representative of China, who wishes to exercise
his right of reply.

74. Mr. HUANG Hua (China) (translation from
Chinese): The crimes committed by the Soviet social
imperialists in Angola represent a big exposure of the
policy of expansion they are pushing in southern
Africa. They constitute-a new evidence of the ambitious
new Tsars’ feverish quest for world hegemony. No
matter what justification the Soviet representative
made, he could never erase the above criminal record.

75. As to the slanderous charges made by the Soviet
representative, they cannot do the slightest harm to
the image of the Chinese Government and people. On
the contrary, they can only reveal the despicable
nature of a liar. We believe that there will be opportunities to expose the crimes committed by the Soviet

social imperialists in their intervention and aggression in Angola. Therefore, I am not going to say much
now. : So :

76. The PRESIDENT (interpretation from French);
I call on the representative of the Soviet Union, who
wishes to exercise his right of reply.

77. Mr. KHARLAMOV (Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics) (interpretation from Russian): The only
thing I agree ‘with is that there will be a time when
we shall speak about. this in the open with the representative that has just spoken. He should be afraid of
such a discussion. He will appear in a very bad light.
All we will have to say is that those they helped have
refused their assistance. The legitimate Government of
Angola is developing its economy and is growing
stronger. But we shall return to this. I do not know
why he needs to say all this. Perhaps he is afraid of
suffering the fate of certain other politicians who have
experienced misfortune in China. That is their own
internal affair; we shall not intervene in it.

78. As far as Africa is concerned, I should once
again like to say that we shall continue the policy
announced at the 25th Congress of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union. In Africa, we want only
one thing: to help the peoples to liberate themselves
from the colonial yoke, from neo-colonialism, racism
and apartheid. We want nothing else in Africa. We
have said so clearly, and I repeat once more that we
shall continue to pursue this policy.

79. As far as statements of the representative ‘of
China are concerned, he is simply repeating what
we have already heard dozens of times from him and
of which everyone has hed enough. Repetition does
not make a lie true. Repetition of untruths never have
and never will convince anyone.

80. The PRESIDENT (interpretation from French):
As no other representative wishes to speak; I take it
that the Council is now ready to proceed to a vote
on the draft resolution contained in document S/12013.

A vote was taken by show of hands.
The resolution was adopted unanimously.

81. The PRESIDENT (interpretation from French):
The Secretary-General has expressed the wish to make
a statement, and I now call on him.

82. The SECRETARY-GENERAL: The decision
by the Government of Mozambique to close its borders
with Southern Rhodesia and to join in the imposition
of sanctions against that country, as well as the action
which has now been taken by the Council in support
of that decision, are developments which will doubtless
have a profound effect on the course of events ‘in
Southern Rhodesia. These developments will be
welcomed by the international community, since they
add a new impetus and dimension to the measures
already taken by the United Nations to end the illegal
régime in that country.

83. The Foreign Minister of Mozambique, Mr. Chissano, has given the Council a clear picture of the
social and economic consequences of his country’s
decision to apply sanctions, and we can have no
doubt about the special nature and the magnitude of
the problems which now confront Mozambique. There
is obviously an urgent need for a generous programme
of international assistance commensurate with the
realities of the situation.

84. I am happy to state that a number of countries
have already indicated their willingness to provide
financial and material assistance on either a bilateral
or a multilateral basis. However, it is my earnest
hope that there will be a prompt and most favourable
response from all Member States to the appeal of the
Council.

85. Ineed not underline the fact that the co-operative
effort and shared responsibility demanded by this
situation derive their validity from Articles 49 and 50
of the Charter, since Mozambique is without doubt
confronted, in the words of Article 50, ‘‘with special
economic problems arising from the carrying out of
[enforcement] measures’.

86. Let me assure the Council that I will do everything I can to organize all possible assistance to
Mozambique in accordance with the terms of the
resolution adopted a few minutes ago. I will certainly
undertake this task in close consultation with the
Government of Mozambique and in collaboration with
the appropriate agencies of the United Nations system.

87. I have taken careful note of the special needs
of Mozambique which have been outlined by the
Foreign Minister with such clarity. I will continue
my talks with him while he is here in New York,
and it is my intention to dispatch a mission to Maputo
without delay so that detailed discussions can be held
with the Government of Mozambique. The mission
will have as its prime objective the organization of
an effective programme of financial, economic and
technical assistance, geared to the immediate and longterm needs of the country. On the basis of those discussions, I shall not fail to address myself again to the
international community and to provide detailed
information on the requirements of Mozambique to
enable it to cope with the new situation.

88. Finally, special care will be taken by my office
to ensure maximum co-ordination among the various
United Nations agencies in order to extend to the
Government and the people of Mozambique the most
efficient help and assistance.

89. The PRESIDENT (interpretation from French):
I thank the Secretary-General for the clarification he

10

has given us on the steps he intends to take to implement the resolution that has just been adopted.

90. I now call on the Minister for Foreign Affairs
of Mozambique.

91. Mr. CHISSANO (Mozambique): As we draw
near the end of the work of this meeting, I should like
to express our appreciation for the way in which the
work was carried out and for the interest shown in
our problem by the member States of the Council as
well as by other delegations that participated in the
debate. We did not expect other than this result,
since the problem discussed here concerns all mankind,
because the liberty won by the people of Mozambique
and the struggle for the liberation of Zimbabwe are
at stake today.

92. In our initial intervention [/890th meeting], we
drew the attention of the Council to the grave crisis
that my country is undergoing because of the application of sanctions. However, we did not and could not
go into all the details. We only touched on the essential
points. Meanwhile our description of the situation has
been enriched by the precious contributions made by
the various speakers during their interventions.

93. It is a pleasure for us to record the fact that the
international community closely follows the evolution
of the situation in our part of the world. We are
returning home with confidence, for we know that the
international community understands very well that the
solution of this crisis does not depend on temporary
measures, but on basic ones which are capable of
altering the nature of the economic structure existing
in Mozambique. From the various statements we have
noted that the Council is aware of the need to delve
deeply into the causes of the crisis and not merely to
examine them superficially. The Council is also aware
of the need to tackle the roots of the evil, namely,
the economic structures inherited from Portuguese
colonialism.

94, We are certain that in addition to the contribu-

tion of $57 million requested by my country for

immediate assistance, the ifdternational community

will not fail to pool its efforts to help Mozambique in

solving many problems, the quantification of which

has not yet been possible. Examples include com-

pensation to maintain the prices of goods previously

imported from Rhodesia; support for the establish-

ment of alternative airports; compensation for the

increase of telephone tariffs and for the suspension of
our airline services; support for solutions of the

problem of electric power which came from Rhodesia

to some of our towns; support for the creation of new

employment by establishing communal villages, the

construction of new communication infrastructures

and the thorough exploration and proper utilization of
natural resources; support for the development of
alternative ways of communication and transport for
the Mozambican products which were previously sent

across Rhodesia to various parts of our country.
95. 1 should like to thank those countries that have
expressed commitments to assist us on a bilateral
basis, in addition to their multilateral contributions.
1 thank all the countries that sponsored the draft
resolution just adopted. The fact that it was adopted
unanimously encourages us and assures us that it will
be supported by all Member States representing the
international community.

96. We are convinced that the Secretary-General, to
whom we repeat our confidence, will exert all efforts
in co-operation with us in order to find a solution to
the problems which I have just enumerated, without
prejudice to the task of channelling immediate support
valued at $57 million, as immediate assistance for the
solution of the already quantified problems.

97. 1 should like to seize this opportunity to express
our thanks for the kind words addressed to our country
and people, as well as to our President, Comrade
Samora Machel. Such words are a guarantee that the
international community fully appreciates the modest

It

efforts and sacrifices made by the people of Mozambique on behalf of international peace and security
and for the liberation of mankind.

98. I should like to assure the Council that Mozambique will spare no effort to support the liberation
struggle of the peoples still under colonial domination,
and particularly the struggle of the people of
Zimbabwe.

99. Finally, Mr. President, we should like to express
our appreciation for the brilliant manner in which you
conducted these meetings. We are convinced that the
success of these deliberations is due to a great extent
to your efforts. We would like to congratulate you for
that.

The meeting rose at 5.40 p.m.
