Guinea, Kenya and Sudan: draft resolution

The Security Council,

Recalling its resolutions on the situation in Southern Rhodesia, in particular,
resolutions 320 (1972) and 328 (1973),

Noting the measures called for in resolution...1/

Considering the urgent and simultaneous need for more stringent measures in
order to meet the requirements of paragraph 4 of resolution 320 (1972),

Deeply disturbed at the deteriorating situation in Southern Rhodesia, which
constitutes a serious threat to international peace and security,

Reiterating its deep concern that measures adopted by the Council have failed
to bring to an end the illegal régime and its conviction that sanctions cannot
terminate the illegal régime unless they are comprehensive, mandatory and
effectively supervised and unless measures are taken against States which violate
them,

Reaffirming that effective action must be taken to end open and persistent
refusal of South Africa and Portugal to implement sanctions against the illegal
régime in Southern Rhodesia which has undermined the effectiveness of the measures
adopted by the Security Council and which constitutes a violation of the
obligations of South Africa and Portugal under Article 25 of the Charter,

1. Decides that all States should limit, with immediate effect, any
purchase of chromium ores, asbestos, tobacco, pig iron, copper, sugar, maize and
any products from South Africa, Mozambique and Angola to the quantitative levels
prevailing in 1965;

* Re-issued for technical reasons.

that continue to grant such rights to aircraft from Southern Rhodesia or operate
air services to Southern Rhodesia;

3.  Decides to extend the Beira blockade to cover all commodities and
products from or destined to Southern Rhodesia to the port of Laurenço Marques;

4.  Urges the Government of the United Kingdom, as the administering Power,
to take all effective measures to implement fully paragraph 3 above and to seek
such co-operation of other States in this task as they may require;

5.  Condemns all those Governments, in particular South Africa and Portugal,
that encourage, assist or connive at any violation of sanctions against Southern
Rhodesia.
