Sanctions Call On Apartheid
(N.Z.P.A. Reuter —Copyright/ NEW YORK, Dec. 16. The General Assembly yesterday condemned South Africa's apartheid policy as a threat to international peace and recommended that the Security Council invoke mandatory, universally-applied sanctions against the republic.
The effect of the action was reduced, in the view of diplomatic observers, by the failure of South Africa’s principal trading partners to support it. Britain, France, the United States and Japan were among those South Africa and Portugal voted against the resolution. Lord Caradpn, of Britain, said his abstention did not create a precedent for any future debate on apartheid in
the Security Council, but the first resolution contained some provisions to which the British objected. Britain was unable to accept the recommendation to enlarge the U-nation Special Committee on Apartheid to include South Africa’s major trading partners. Neither could it approve a clause which would deny technical assistance to South Africa by United Nations specialised agencies.
