Mr. Phillips (United States of America)
A brief explanation of my delegation’s votes on the two draft resolutions upon which the Council has just voted. 126.

Mr. Mosjov (Yugoslavia)
In my substantive statement at the Council’s meeting yesterday I said that we would support any draft resolution embodying the twin yet unified strategy of support for the just struggle of the people of Zimbabwe inside and for sanctions outside Southern Rhodesia. 154.
