Conscious of the need to take effective measures to maintain international peace and security in view of South Africa's continued violation of the Charter of the United Nations,

2. Declares that the continued illegal military occupation of the territory of the People's Republic of Angola is a flagrant violation and endangers the sovereignty, territorial integrity of Angola and endangers international peace and security.
1. Demands that South Africa unconditionally cease all violations of Angola's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
2. Calls upon all Member States to desist from any action which would undermine the independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the People's Republic of Angola.
3. Considers, moreover, that Angola is entitled to appropriate redress for any material damage it has suffered.
