Benin, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and Mauritius: revised draft resolution

The Security Council,

Considering that the cessation of foreign investment in South Africa and other
measures to discourage economic co-operation with South Africa would be an important
step in dissuading the South African racist régime from pursuing its abhorrent
policy of apartheid,

Taking note of resolution 31/6 K adopted by the General Assembly on
9 November 1976,

1. Calls upon all Governments:

(a) To refrain from any investments in, loans to, or any export and import
credits to the South African racist régime or companies registered in South Africa;

(b) To take all appropriate steps to ensure that companies and financial
institutions within their jurisdiction cease all further investments in, or loans
to, the South African racist régime or companies registered in South Africa;

(c) To refrain from any agreements or measures to promote trade or other
economic relations with South Africa;

2. Further calls upon all the specialized agencies and other international
institutions of the United Nations to refrain from any loans, credits or assistance
to the South African racist régime or companies registered in South Africa;

3. Requests all States Members of the United Nations or of the specialized
agencies to report to the Secretary-General by 1 April 1978 on measures taken to
implement the present resolution;

4. Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Security Council on the
progress of the implementation of this resolution, the first report to be made not
later than 1 May 1978;

5. Decides to maintain this item on its agenda for further action as
appropriate in the light of developments.
