The Security Council, Recalling its resolutions 320 (1972) and 326 (1973) and 335 (1973), Noting that measures not brought instituted by the Security Council so far have not brought to an end the illegal regime in Southern Rhodesia, Reiterating its grave concern that some States, contrary to Security Council obligations under Article 25 of the Charter of the United Nations, have failed to prevent trade with the illegal regime of Southern Rhodesia, Condemning the persistent refusal of South Africa and Portugal to co-operate in the effective observance of sanctions against Southern Rhodesia in clear violation of the United Nations Charter, Having considered the second special report of the Committee established in pursuance of resolution 253 (1968) (S/10920), Taking note of the letter dated 27 April from the Chairman of the Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples (S/10323), Approves the recommendations and proposals contained in paragraphs 10 of the second special report of the Committee established in pursuance of resolution 253 (1968); Requests the Committee, as well as all Governments, to implement the recommendations and proposals referred to above; Requests the Secretary-General to take appropriate action to implement the recommendations and proposals referred to above.
