Mr. Bishara
The delegation of Kuwait is very happy that the draft resolution has been adopted unanimously. This is a positive response to the unmistakable drift towards lawlessness in the world today. Member States take the law into their own hands and violate the Charter of the United Nations, and yet they get away with it. Unless this drift is arrested and, indeed, reversed towards the right direction, the…
Mr. Barton
We have heard the account given to us by the representative of Angola of the tragic
18. The Security Council should have no hesitation, and has shown no hesitation, in condemning this armed incursion. No matter what is alleged to be justification for such action, the responsibility of the South African Government is undeniable. Canada, for its part, acted immediately to advise the South African …
Mr. CI-IEN Chu
On 4 May the South African racist authorities flagrantly invaded Angola, savagely raiding the Namibian refugee camps at Kassinga and brutally slaughtering the people of Namibia and Angola. This is an act of gross trampling upon the Charter of the United Nations, a new grave crime committed by the Vorster racist r&gime against the people of Namibia, Angola and the rest of Africa. The Chinese deleg…
Mr. Leprette
The Security Council has just taken a unanimous decision on the complaint by Angola against South Africa, presented clearly, sincerely and with justified emotion by Mr. de Figueiredo, the representative of the People’s Republic of Angola. My Government shares the feelings of indignation expressed here by previous speakers at the armed attacks perpetrated inside Angolan territory, and at the loss …
Mr. George
The Nigerian delegation expresses its condolences to the peoples of Angola and Namibia, which, in their solidarity, have lost kith and kin as a result of South Africa’s wanton and reckless aggression launched last Thursday against Namibian refugee camps situated about 155 miles inside the People’s Republic of Angola. Without doubt, Angolans and Namibians have suffered together. Nigeria stands by …
Mr. Troyanovsky
The Soviet delegation has listened with the closest attention to the statement of the representative of the People’s Republic of Angola, Ambassador de Figueiredo, who informed the Security Council /2077th meeting] of the aggression of the racist re’gime of Pretoria against the independence and sovereignty of his country. We entirely share the assessments that he gave of those criminal acts on the…
Mr. Ramphul
As we meet today, it is clear to all of us that peace in southern Africa hangs in the balance. South Africa has once again invaded Angola and carried us into a new and much more dangerous phase of the conflict over Namibia. The whole of central and southern Africa could be affected by South Africa’s actions. Indeed, it would not be too much to say that South African lawlessness now imperils the p…
Mr. Jaipal
I should like to begin by reading into the record the statement made by my Minister for External Affairs on the South African armed invasion of Angola on 4 May.
“I have seen news agency reports regarding the dastardly attack by South African troops based in Namibia
“The obduracy and conduct of South Africa, as typified by such acts, strengthens the conviction of those who are sceptical about a …
Mr. Rolon Anaya
The promptness with which the Security Council has met to consider another act of aggression by the South African rggime-this time against the People’s Republic of Angola, from the illegally occupied Territory of Namibiademonstrates the deep concern of the President of the Council that, finally, a situation of peace may reign in southern Africa. His prompt action, in exercise of the highest respo…
Mr. Richard
I shall be brief. This does not seem to me to be an occasion for polemics or disputation-despite some of the quite extraordinary dlegations made in the course of speeches this morning by certain delegations, including some that are African, some that are quasi-African, and some that are nowhere-near- African.
114. On 4 May South Africa attacked a SWAP0 base near Kassinga, over 1.50 miles into th…
Mr. Von Wechmar
WC welcome the unanimous decision by the Council in adopting the resolution. We are gratified that members were able to take quick action once again.
120. My delegation has listened with great attention to the statements made by the representative of Angola, the President of SWAP0 and others on the South African attack on Angofan territory on 4 May. Angola indeed has every reason to seize the Co…
Mr. Leonard
The Security Council is considering today a matter of utmost gravity. South Africa has crossed an internationally recog nized border and attacked Angola. The action taken is particularly reprehensible in that South Africa launched its attack from Namibia, a Territory which it illegally occupies, and from which it should Iong ago have withdrawn. This massive attack on a site located some 155 miles…
The President
1 should now like to make a statement in my capacity as representative of VENEZUELA.
13 1. My delegation has listened carefully to the statement made by the representative of Angola (2077th meeting] on
132. We have just conchlded a special session of the General Assembly on Namibia, a Territory which has been subjected to South African colonialism. At that special session WC were not able to ob…
Mr. Houngavou
Mr. President, the delegation of the People’s Republic of Benin is grateful to you and the other members of the Council for having invited us to participate in this important debate on the act of armed aggression committed by the Pretoria racist rCgime against the free African land of the People’s Republic of Angola.
143. My delegation wishes to declare its active and militant solidarity with th…
The President
The next speaker is the representative of Algeria, whom I invite to take a place at the Council table and to make his statement.
147. Mr, BOUAYAD-AGHA (Algeria) (interpretation porn French): Once again the Security Council is meeting to consider a complaint by Angola against South Africa. Once again the international community is confronted by a premeditated criminal attack of the outlaw South A…
Mr. Roa Kouri
I am pleased indeed to see a representative of the “pure land of Venezuela”-as it was called by the illustrious poet and fighter And& Eloy Blanco-presiding over these meetings of the Council. Coming from the country of the liberator Simbn Bolivar, who travelled throughout America “distributing freedom to the peoples”, he is aware, I am sure, that the spirit of Santos Luzardo is today fighting in …
The President
The next speaker is the representative of Mozambique, whom I invite to take a place at the Council table and to make his statement.
Mr. LOB0
It is a great honour and privilege, for which I am profoundly grateful, to speak in the Security Council today as it meets to carry out one of its most challenging tasks: that of coping with the problems which threaten international peace and security, such as the recent armed aggression by the apartheid regime of South Africa against the People’s Republic of Angola.
172. Similarly, it is both a…
The President
The next speaker is the President of the United Nations Council for Namibia, Ambassador Gwendoline Konie, representative of Zambia. Under rule 39 of the provisional rules of procedure, I invite her to take a place at the Council table and to make her statement.
185. Miss KONIE (President of the United Nations Council for Namibia): Sir, 1 should like to congratulate you on your accession to the p…
