!9/ 439/23 (Part III) , chap. vI. 39/663 English^/ Page 14

colonial countrles and peoples and that lt is the responsibility of the adninistering Pohters concerned ln ttrat regard to ensure that the existence of such bases and lnstallations does not hlnder the populations of the Territories from exercising their right to se lf-determination and indeperderEe in conformity niti the purposes and principles of the Charter. Furthermore, anare of the presence of mltitary bases and instalratlons of the administerirg po$rers corcerned and of other countries in those Territories, the Assembly urges the administering powers concerned to continue to take all necessary measures not to invorve those Territorles in any offensive acts or interference against other States and to comply fully with the purposes and prirEiples of the Chart.er, tlle Declaration on the crantlng of fndepend€nce to Colonial Countries and Peoples and the resolutions and decisions of the Uniteal Nations relatlrg to mllitary activities and arrargements $r colonial po,rrer s in Territories under the lr aaunini strat ion.

3. The General Assembly deplores the fact that South Africa anat the colonial Pohter s continue to enqage in actlvities and dispositions of a military character and to establlBh and malntaln ba€es and other milltary installations in Nanibia and other colonial Territories in violation of the purposes and prirE iples of the Charter and of Assenbly resolution 1514 (xV).

4. The ceneral Assenbly condernns atl military activitles and arrangements in colonial Terrltorles which deny the peoples concerned thelr right to self-detern ination and lndependerEe.

5. The ceneral Assenbly note6 tlat, ln southern Africa in general and in and around Namibia in particular, a critical situation continues to prevail a6 a result of South Africa.s continued i11e9a1 occupation of the lerrltory. I'he illegal occrryyirg 169 ime has resorted to deq)erate rneasures in order to suppress by force the legltlnate aspiration6 of the p€opl-e and nalntain lts control over the Territory. In its escalatirE rrar agalnst the pe@le of Nanibia and thelr national llberatlon movenent, the south we6t Africa peoplers organlzation, strugglirq for freedon and independerper the 169 irne has rep€atedly cormrltted acts of armed aggression against the neighbouring indeperdent African countri.es, particularly Angola, whlch have caused extensive loss of hunan lives and destruction of the economic infrastructure.

6. The ceneral Assenbly, notlrB that in Namibla, the SoutJr African covernnent has continued to expand its network of mlritary bases and carried out a rnassive build-up of its mllitary forces, condernng any contlnuirq co-operation of certain Hestern States and other States wlth South Africa in supplyirE it with arns and mllitary egu ipment as rrell as technology, incl-udirg technology and equipment ln the nuclear field capable of being utilized for nilitary purposes. The Assenbry condenns south Africa for its ever increaslrg and large-scale military build-up in l€nlbla, its lntroduction of conpulsory mllitary service for Namibians, ltE forced recru itnent and training of Nanibians for tribal arnies and its recruitment of rnercenarles and other fore ign agents in order to carry out its pollcies of internal repression ahd its rnllitary attacks against independent African states. In this connection, A/39/663 English D Page 15

the Assenbly calls upon all States to co-operate in taking effective measures to prevent the recruitment, lraining and transit of nercenaries for service in Narnibia. The Assembly is particularly nindful in that regard of the relevant resolutions of the organization of African Unity, the Polilical Declaration igsued by the sevenEh Conference of ueads of State or Governnent of Non-ALigned Countriesr held at New Delhi from 7 to 12 l4alch f983, ly the t'ina1 conmuniqu6 of the sumlit Meeting of Front-Iine states' held at Arusha' United Republic of Tanzania. orL 29 April 1984, L|j/ Lhe Final Corununiqu5 of the Regional symposiun on south Africa'a lUegal Occupation of Nanibial The Threat to lnternational and security' herd at Arusha, united Republic of Tanzania' fron 2 to 6 April L984. &/ the relevant Provisiong of the Declaration adopted by the International conference on the between south Africa and Israel held at vienna from U to 13 ,tuly 1983, ry and the relevant decisions aalopted by the Fourth Islanic Sunmit Conferencet held at fron L6 to 19 January L984. 20/ 7. The General Assembly, accordingly' denands the inmediate cessation of the lrar of oppression waged by the.racist minority r69ime against the people of Nanibia and their national liberation novenent, as weII as the urgent disnantling of atl nilitary bases in the Territory. neaffirming the legitinacy of che struggle of the people of Nanlbia to achieve their freedon and independencer the Assenbly appeals to aII Scates to render sustained and increased noral and poLitical support, as rrell as f inanc j.al, milltary and l other naterial assietarrce, to the south gfest Africa PeoPLers Organization to enable it to intenslfy its struggle for the liberation of Narnibia. 8. The General Assembly condemts any continued military collaboration and support which certain t{eEtern countries and other states render to the Governrnen! of South Africa antl calls uPon all States to cease such collaboration and suppor ! to that Govettrnent, Particularly the sale of weaPons and other matgrielr which increases its caPacity to wage uars against neighbouring African slates. In particular, the Assembly calls uPon all Governnents to conply strictly with the provisions of Security council resolution 4I8 (19?7) of 4 Novenber 1977, by ldhich the Councilr actlng under Chapter vII of the Charter, decided to aPPly speclfic sanctions against south Africa. In this connection, the Assembly draws Particular attention to the relevant provislons of its resolubion 38,/36 of f December 1983, the Paris Declaration on Namibia and tbe Progranrne of Acblon on Namibia adoPted at the

The ceneraL Assenbly considers that Che acqulsition of nuclear neapons capabirity by the racist rdgime of south Africa, with i.ts infanous record of violence and aggressionl constitutes a further effort on its part to terrorize and intimidate independent states i.n ehe region into submission while also posing a threat to all rnankind. The continuing assistance rendered to the south African rSgirne by certain westeln countries and other states in the military and nuclear fields beries their stateat opposilion to the racist practice of the South African r6gime and rnakes then rrilling partners of its hegemonistic and crlninal poricies. The Assenbly accordingly condenns the continued nucrear co-operation by certaln l{eatern countries and other states rrith South Africa. It calls upon the States concerned to end all such co-opelation and, in part.icuLar, to halt the supply !o South Africa of eguipnenC, technology, nuclear nateEials and related training, which increases its nuclear capabi l ity.

10. the ceneral Assembly, noting thac the militarization of Namibia has led to the forced of Namibians, to a greatly intensified floyr of and to a cragic disorganization of the faniry rife of the Nanibian PeoPle, strongly condemns the forclbLe and wholesale displacenent of Narnibians from cheir hones for rniJ.itary and poritical purposes and the introduceion of I ggmpylgory for Nanibians and declares that all measures by the ilregal occupation r5gime to enforce nilitary conscription in Nanibia are nurr and void. rn this connection, the Assenbly urges arl covernments, lhe specialized agencies and other intergover nmental organizations to provide lncreased naterial assistance Co the thousands of refugees who have been forced by the apartheid r69irne.s oppresslve policies ln Nanibia and south Africa to flee into the neighbouring front-Iine States.

I1. The ceneral Assembly recalls its resolution ES-g /Z of 14 Septenber 1981, by vrhich it sbrongly urged States to cease forthwith, indivldually and collectively, all dealings with south Africa in order totallv to isolate it politicallyl economically, nilitarily and culturally.

L2. The ceneral Assenbly strongly deprecates the establishment and naintenance by colonial Powers and their al-lies of military bases and other i'nstallations in the colonial Territories under their adninistration phich inpede the ixnplementation of the Declaration on the cranting of Independence

13. The General Assenbly reiterates its condennation of all military activities and arrangenents by colonial Porrers in Territories under their administration which are delrinental to the lnterests and rights of the colonial peoples concerned, especially their righ! to self-det€rnination and independence. The Assernbly once again callE upon the colonial powers concerned to terrninate such activities and eliminate such nilitary bases in conPliance with its relevant resol-utions and in partlcular with pargraph 9 of the PIan of Action for the FuIl Inplenentation of the Declaration on the GranCing of Independence to Colonial Countries and peoples, contained in the annex to its resoLution 35/ll8 of 11 . 14. The ceneral Assembly deprecates the continued alienation of land in colonial Territories for military installations. While it has been argued that the servicing of such installations creates emplol4nent, nevertheleqs, the large-scale uti].ization of local econonic and nanpower resoulces for this Purpose diverts resources wbich could be more beneficially utilized in pronoting the economic development of the Territories concerned and is thus contrary to the interests of their populations. 15. The General Assenbly requests the Secretary-ceneral to continue, through the Department of public Inforr0atlon of the Secretariat, an intensified canpaign of pubJ.icity with a vlew !o inforning world public oPinion of the facts concerning the nilieary activities and arrangements in colonial Territories which are inpeding the inplenentation of th€ Declaratlon on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, contained in General Assenbly resolution 1514 (XVl . 16. The General Assembly requests the Special Committee to continue its consideration of the ilem and to report thereon to the Assenbly at its fortieth sess ion.
