I. DECLARATION The Conference on "Southern Africa: The Time to Choose" was organized in London from 11 to 13 March 1982 by the Anti-Apartheid Movement of the United Kingdom in co-operation with the United Nations Special Committee against Apartheid. The Conference was intended to consider, above all, the responsibility of Britain in relation to the grave situation in southern Africa resulting from escalating repression and aggression launched by the apartheid r6gime of South Africa, the ominous implications of its nuclear plans, as well as the advance of the struggle of the oppressed people, including armed struggle for liberation. As the sponsors pointed out: "Britain carries a major responsibility for the situation in southern Africa. It ceded power to the white minority in South Africa in 1910. British trade and investment played a critical role in the build-up of apartheid economy and Britain remains today the principal investor in apartheid. British migration, tourism and a host of cultural and sporting relations continue to sustain the apartheid r6gime. In this crucial sense British policy towards southern Africa is of special significance; even more so today in the light of the overtly pro-apartheid policies of the United States administration." Archbishop Trevor Huddleston, the Chairman of the Conference, defined its purpose as follows: "First: to assert once again and unequivocally that we are in the last phase of the conflict between those who believe in human dignity and the rights of man and those who support and sustain a racist ideology which totally denies these things. "Secondly: to warn Britain and the West that their choice at this moment will be decisive in terms of our relationship with the great continents of Africa and Asia. A choice against an effective sanction policy is a choice for apartheid and can be nothing else. "Thirdly: to show that if the West cares about peace in our world, it must act now to root out the cancer of racism represented in its most extreme form by apartheid and that such action is within our competence... "If we choose rightly, and if we choose now, we can be certain that we shall be contributing to a future for our world in which justice and peace will be infinitely more secure. But we cannot avoid the choice. "And we dare not delay to make it." -2-. The Conference was attended by a wide spectrum of organizations in Britain including political parties, trade unions, churches, and other nongovernmental organizations. It had the benefit of the presence and participation of leading representatives of front-line States, national liberation movements of South Africa and Namibia, and anti-apartheid movements from Western Europe, as well as many other Governments and organizations. H. E. Dr. Alex Ekwueme, the Vice-President of Nigeria delivered the keynote address for the Conference. He stressed the call of the African States and a large majority of the international community for the imposition of sanctions against the racist r6gime of South Africa. He said: ... We in Africa believe very strongly thatsnctions are the only peaceful alternative to the bloody war which the southern Africa problem will bring in its wake. Time is running out in southern Africa. If the international community, by default or otherwise, cannot contain the racist, illegal and aggressive activities of the Pretoria regime by imposing comprehensive and mandatory sanctions against that irascible and obnoxious regime, then ware paving the way for inevitable bloodshed in that region s '1TLe in Africa febl that the time has come when we shall no longer tolerate the disregard which some Western nations display at issues that affect us seriously, and when we can no longer continue to ignore the action of these Western nations in the southern Africa region in our respective bilateral relations with them. In other words, there must be a clear linkage between what is happening in southern Africa and our relations with these Western nations. "We believe that the United Kingdom, faithful to her best tradition of freedom and justice, can, if she has the political will, bring sufficient pressure to bear on the South African r6gime to compel her to reverse the repressive and dehumanizing system of Government which she practices and which goes by the name of apartheid. "Five years ago, all the countries of the Commonwealth met and discussed the problems created for the Commonwealth by apartheid in the matter of sporting relations. Consistent with the noble traditions of the Commonwealth, a consensus was reached resulting in the Gleneagles Agreement that member countries of the Commonwealth should sever sporting links with South Africa. Cutting South Africa off from international sporting contests would at least emphasize her moral isolation and could induce her to take the first steps towards the abolition of apartheid which has made her a pariah in the international community. We are not satisfied that Britain has tried hard enough to discourage sporting links with South Africa. Today, as we deliberate on apartheid, top British cricketers, some of whom have represented England in world-class pricket, are giving succour and entertaining the white apostles of apartheid on the cricket test grounds of South Africa! How will history remember Gleneagles? Is it a venue into the coffin of apartheid; or is it a venue where some 'smart' members of the Commonwealth

S-3 used a form of words to deceive their colleagues and to buy time for apartheid? "We do hope that the Western countries, especially those who are members of the Security Council and who exercise veto powers therein will see the handwriting on the wall. We do hope that they will have a change of heart and agree with the majority of the international community on the urgent need to impose mandatory sanctions against South Africa." The Conference was also addressed, among others, by H. E. Alhaji Yusuff Maitama-Sule, Chairman of the United Nations Special Committee against Apartheid; Mr. Alfred Nzo, Secretary-General of the African National Congress of South Africa; Mr. David Meroro, Chairman of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO); Mr. Jacques Hodoul, Foreign Minister of Seychelles; H. E. Mr. Shridath Ramphal, SecretaryGeneral of the Commonwealth; H. E. Mr. Mohamed Sahnoun of Algeria, Rapporteur-General of the International Conference on Sanctions against South Africa (Paris, May 1981); representative of front-line States; and leaders of British Labour and Liberal Parties, the Right Honourable Michael Foot and the Right Honourable David Steel; Mr. Tom Jackson, Chairman of the International Committee of the Trade Union Congress; and representatives of many organizations and experts from Britain and other Western countries. These addresses and the discussions at the Conference stressed the extreme gravity of the situation in South Africa, engulfed in an escalating conflict; the legitimacy of the struggle of the national liberation movements of South Africa and Namibia; the need for effective international action to secure the liberation of South Africa and Namibia; and the responsibility of Britain and the West. As Mr. Oliver Tambo, President of the African National Congress of South Africa, said in his message to the Conference: L"Because of the unavoidable intensifying liberation struggle in Namibia and South Africa, the apartheid regime is waging an undeclared and escalating war throughout southern Africa. Britain stands at the centre of the history of this situation.j The Conference took note of and shared the assessment of the Summit Meeting of front-line States held in Maputo on 6-7 March 1982: "The Front-Line States Summit notediieh ever-increasing aggressiveness of imperialism perpetrated by the racist regime of South Africa, its instrument of aggression in the region. The invasion and military aggressions, the utilization of armed bandits and agents, the acts of sabotage and economic blackmail, the massive and subversive propaganda campaigns conducted by South Africa are proof that there is currently an un&eclared war situation engendered and supported by South Africa. "These manoeuvres are aimed at increasing our dependence on South Africa, forestalling the harmonious application of our development plans and delaying at all costs the independence of Namibia and preventing the liberation of the South African people.

"The occupation of areas in the southern part of the People's Republic of Angola by the Pretoria racist forces and the attempt to promote the UNITA puppets aims at creating an international precedent which could be made applicable to any of the countries in the region. The African peoples have the right to expect a vigorous reaction from the international community, which should condemn and demand the immediate cessation of this intolerable violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity of a member State of the OAU and the United Nations. "The Front-Line States Summit noted with satisfaction that as a direct response to the ever-increasing acts of repression and crimes committed by the Pretoria r6gime, the acts of Namibia, under the leadership of SWAPO, are intensifying the liberation struggle in the country, and that in South Africa, under the leadership of the ANC, the people, through strikes and armed actions, are vigorously rising against apartheid." The Conference expressed alarm over the recent relaxation by the United States Government of the arms embargo against South Africa, as a further measure by that Government in developing so-called "constructive engagement" with the racist r6gime to the Indian Ocean territoriei he African leaders, as well as all the participants in the Conference, stressed that the West must make a choice without any further delj - between racist tyranny in southern Africa and the just struggle of the national liberation movements for a democratic and nonracial society; - between friendship and collaboration with the racist and aggressive r~gime in Pretoria, and fruitful relations with independent African States and all others committed to African liberation. They pointed out tha(all Western countries have far more important economic and other relations with independent African States alone than with South Africa under apartheid rulje They must be persuaded and pressed to support the cause of freedom and peace by effective action to isolate the apartheid regime and implement the resolutions of the United Nations. The glaring contradiction between their professed opposition to apartheid and their continued collaboration with, and protection of, the apartheid r6gime must be ended. The participants stressed in particular the importance of a total cessation of all military co-operation with South Africa, and any assistance in South Africa's nuclear plans, and the effective monitoring of such an embargo. They stressed that the arms embargo must be complemented by an embargo on oil supplies and transfer of technology to South Africa. These were highlighted among a range of essential measures including the cessation of loans to and investments in South Africa and other economic sanctions.

-5 The participants also recognized the importance of a sports boycott of South Africa, as well as a boycott by entertainers and others, as actions of special significance. They decided to co-operate in a vigorous effort towards the mobilization of Governments and peoples, during this International Year of Mobilization for Sanctions against South Africa, in support of the struggle of the people of South Africa and Namibia, and for the total isolation of the racist rgime of South Africa.

II. REPORTS OF COMMISSIONS I. South Africa's Military and Nuclear Build-Un 1. The Commission received detailed reports about the successive dramatic increases in South Africa's military expenditures and the transformations which have led to the construction of a highly militarized State whose entire apparatus is dire :.ed to serving its programme of 'total startegy'. Today, South Alfrica's military and paramilitary forces are central decision-makes - the supreme power - within the apartheid State. The military con;ponent of the South African budget is almost 40 per cent, perhaps the largest in the world; every adult white citizen is absorbed in one way or another in the military structure. A massive programme of military weapons procurement has led to the introduction of advanced systems of warfare, utilizing new and modern technologies to enable the South African armed forces to invade and occupy the territories of the neighbouring independent tates. The Commission wa3 deeply alarmed by both the scale and the objectives of So':h Africa's militarization. It is convinced that these military preparations are designed for three central objectives: (a) to employ the weapons of war to repress and destroy the resistance of the South African and Namibian people and their liberation movements; (b) to expand and acquire an imperial role in southern Africa - enforcing South Africa's dominance through the instrument of violence, terrorism and aggression and to reduce the neighbouring African States to the status of vassals; and (c) to serve as the'gendarme' of the United States and those Western powers who seek to expand South Africa's role as a regional power which is integrated into overall Western global strategy, despite the serious implications of this for Africa, the Indian Ocean and South Atlantic region, and for the preservation of international peace and security. 2. The South African regime has embarked on an ever-escalating war against independent Africa, in which outside powers are involved through their military and nuclear collaboratica, and which holds the certainty of a major casastrophe, unless the peoples and Governments of all continents are alerted to this enormous danger so they may be mobilized into decisive and timely action.

3. The Commission was presented with wide-ranging evidence which revealed that the mandatory arms embargo was being substantially breached by several Western Powers and others, including Israel and Taiwan. In practice, a vast quantity of arms, military equipment and associated military technology continues to flow to South Africa, thus making a mockery of the arms embargo. 4. The Commission expressed great anxiety and concern about the growing nuclear weapon capability of the South African regime. The detection of its nuclear test site in the Kalahari Desert in 1977 and of a nuclear explosion in the South Atlantic in 1979 has convinced the scientific community and most of the world that South Africa does have a significant nuclear weapon capability. This capability would have been impossible to achieve without the substantial collaboration of several major Western Powers. South Africa's nuclear preparations are founded on the critical assumption that nuclear weapons can and will be employed in sustaining the apartheid regime; enhance South Africa's dominant position and enable it to blackmail and intimidate Africa and the world. 5. The Commission discussed wide-ranging proposals, including the following: (a) the need to monitor all external military and nuclear collaboration with South Africa and to disseminate such information as widely as possible in order to promote action; (b) to recognize the key role of the transfer of military technology to South Africa, and the need to organize campaigns to stop such transfers; (c) the need to co-operate with the growing peace movement in the Western countries with a view to mobilizing wider public support for an end to all forms of military and nuclear collaboration with South Africa; (d) that the South African regime is in desperate need of loans and other financial support for its war machine and therefore calls for campaigns against such support to be intensified. In this respect, the Commission also called for action by churches, trade unions and other bodies to ensure that their pension funds are not invested in enterprises operating in South Africa.

-8 6. The Comnission recognized that the most effective response to the apartheid regime's war preparations, its repressive policies in South Africa and Namibia and its aggressive and destabilizing policies against the front-line and other African States, is to mobilize world public opinion and to isolate the apartheid r6gime and ensure that comprehensive sanctions are imposed against it. 7. The Commission emphasized the supreme importance of giving full support to the national liberation movements of South Africa and Namibia, not only to achieve their liberation from apartheid but also to ensure that Africa and the world may live in peace.

II. Military Aggression against Angola and Other Front-Line States 8. Commission II considered South Africa's policies of aggression and destabilization against independent African States, including reports on their effects, and considered appropriate national and international measures. 9. During the first session, chaired by Lord Hatch, H. E. Mr. Luis de Almeida, Ambassador of the People's Republic of Angola to France, described the escalation of South African attacks against his county during 1981. Angola was now facing "the most terrible challenge", the ultimate purpose of which was to install r6gimes without principles throughout the front-line States, and thereby to destroy the rear bases of the Namibian and South African liberation struggles. Alfred Nzo, the Secretary-General of the African National Congress, drew attention to the r6gime's intensified repression of the democratic movement inside South Africa. 10. H. E. Dr. Robert Zwinoira, High Commissioner of the Republic of Zimbabwe, stressed that Zimbabweans had always seen their own struggle as at one with those of South Africa and Namibia, and part of the wider drive for African freedom throughout the continent. It was vital that the victims of colonialism and imperialism should free themselves from the hypnosis of the artificial boundaries and divisions imposed by colonial r6gimes, and unite together against their common enemy. 11. H. E.-Mr. A. B. Nyakyi, High Commissioner of Tanzania pointed out that since the countries of southern Africa had no alternative in fighting apartheid, the argument that sanctions would hurt the front-line States was invalid. Sanctions were the only way to avoid a fight to the finish in which the southern African region would be engulfed in an even bigger conflagration. 12. Mr. Ramsey Clark, former United States Attorney General, argued in the- second session, chaired by Jack Jones, that the "overwhelming ignorance" about the situation in southern Africa which characterized the United States and other Western countries was the greatest obstacles to understanding. 13. Lieutenant Colonel Ngongo, of the Angolan Ministry of Defence, reiterated the Angolan people's determination to carry forward the struggle, whatever the price, until the whole of Africa was liberated from apartheid. He explained that the failure of the new aggression launched during 1981 to bring Angola to its knees had prompted the apartheid regime to try new approaches - such as the sabotage of the Petrangol oil refinery in Luanda, and the attempt to extend its operation into Moxico province by starting to overfly and bomb Moxico. 14. H. E. Mr. Rafael Maguni of the People's Republic of Mozambique

-10- pointed out that while the apartheid r6gime was being presented as being "liberalized", it was in reality being strengthened to the point where it was now a nuclear threat. The people of Mozambique had fought South African military aggression for nearly two decades, first the alliance with Portuguese colonial forces, then the alliance with the Smith r6gime, and finally in the form of direct attacks. Ambassador Maguni described the operations of the armed bandits which South Africa was training, equipping and infiltrating into Mozambique for purposes of subversion and destabilization. 15. Mr. John Stockwell reviewed his experiences of the CIA's involvement in Angola, and pointed out that mercenaries were currently more active in the United States than in any previous period. The CIA itself was operating at full capacity and a $19 million programme of subversion in Nicaragua had recently been announced by the Reagan administration. The CIA's involvement in Angola, which had been based on "colossal ignorance" of Africa, illustrated the extreme dangers inherent in the United States policy of subversion and destabilization. 16. In the course of questions and discussions, the Commission reviewed a wide range of suggestions and proposals for action from delegates reflecting the extreme seriousness and urgency of the situation. In particular, the Commission (a) endorsed the need for a major international effort to publicize the nature and the effects of the apartheid regime's constant and sustained attacks against the countries of the region, through all available media; (b) agreed to make every possible effort to increase solidarity with, and international support for the front-line States in their efforts to counter apartheid aggression and to rebuild their countries; (c) reiterated the urgent need for much greater and more effective international action to isolate the apartheid regime at all levels, including action by the trade union and labour movement and other organizations to break off all economic and other links; and (d) called for greatly increased levels of international assistance to SWAPO and the ANC.

-11- III. Southern Africa: British, European and Western Policy 17. Participants of the Commission welcomed the convening of the Conference 'Southern Africa - The Time to Choose', believing that the initiative of the Anti- Apartheid Movement and the Special Committee against Apartheid was both timely and crucial for the mobilization of international public opinion in favour of comprehensive and effective sanctions against the South African racist r6gime. The Commission believed that the aggravating crisis in southern Africa, resulting from the apartheid policies of the Pretoria regime, imposes on all the Western nations and their peoples the urgent and compelling choice of either continuing to collaborate with the apartheid regime and thereby impose on the world the certain prospect of a bloody race war in which the outside powers cannot but become involved, or the total isolation of the apartheid regime through comprehensive mandatory sanctions and thereby open the bright prospect of freedom, peace and democracy for all the southern African peoples in a common destiny of partnership and mutual co-operation. 18. The Commission viewed with the greatest alarm the recent direction of United States policy in southern Africa and the seeming willingness of European Governments to join in what appears to be a grand Western strategic design to secure for the apartheid r6gime a commanding position in the southern African region. That role is now being demonstrated in the systematic armed attacks and the organized terrorism mounted against the front-line States and in seeking to resolve the Namibian question in a way which advances South Africa's ambitions for an imperial role and of dominance over the African nations and their peoples. The Commission was also convinced that the Western policies of collaboration and support for the apartheid r6gime are responsible for the escalating violence and repression which now characterizes that regime's policies towards the South African people in their resistance to race rule. 19. It was the Commission's view that these dangerous Western policies can now only be reversed if the costs of these policies are sharply increased through the inter-action of three mutuallyrelated forces bearing on the South African crisis:(a) the further build-up of solidarity with the liberation struggles, led by the national liberation movements of South Africa and Namibia such that the rule by the Pretoria regime becomes increasingly untenable. The Commission was convinced that a crisis of power

-12- already exists in South Africa and Namibia, and that the crisis will become steadily more acute and desperate for the Pretoria r6gime and the Western Governments; (b) the build-up of wide and manysided manifestations of popular outrage within the Western countries against all forms of collaboration with apartheid; (c) the pursuit of concrete measures which clearly establish the choice which the United States, Britain and other Western countries must confront, that is, that they cannot retain the friendship of and their economic, political and other links with Africa and the Third World, while remaining allies of apartheid South Africa. 20. Within the area of their responsibility, the participants of the Commission discussed a number of proposals for generating campaigns in the Western countries aimed at fulfilling the objectives of the United Nations designation of 1982 as the Year of Mobilization for Sanctions against South Africa. Among the many proposals discussed, the following received particular emphasis: (a) given the organic links between the cause of liberation and the cause of world peace, to bring within the scope of the European and United States movement for peace the struggle against Western collaboration with apartheid and for solidarity with the liberation movements of South Africa and Namibia; (b) strongly encourage those favourable trends in some Western countries where Governments are beginning to distance themselves from the Pretoria r6gime and take account of the programmes of the anti-racist and anti-apartheid organizations and to establish links with the national liberation movements of South Africa and Namibia. The Commission welcomed the commitment of the British Labour Party to work for world-wide mandatory sanctions against South Africa; (c) campaign for the spread in Europe and

-13- elsewhere of the notable measures taken by Sheffield and Glasgow to declare their cities as anti-apartheid zones. Such a spread is certain to grow into parliamentary measures against collaboration with the Pretoria r6gime and thereby bring about the desired reversal of Western policies; (d) actively campaign with the support of the trade unions to restrict and bring to an end the flow of migrants from Europe to South Africa in the belief that labour migration in the apartheid economy serves to sustain the discrimination against and the poverty levels of the wage incomes of the black people. 21. The Commission voiced its total condemnation of the British media for their calculated failure to report the proceedings of this important conference. The Commission views this failure as a distressing slight on the distinquished participants of the Conference, many of whom represent Governments in Africa whose friendly relations with Britain are of the greatest value to the British people. 22. The participants of the Commission commited themselves to expand and intensify their campaigns in support of the objectives of the Conference. They believe that the time to choose is now. There is no more time left: 1982 must be made the year of total isolation of the racist South African r6gime, the implementation of comprehensive sanctions and the achievement of Namibia's independence and freedom.
