TELEGRAM DATED 20 JANUARY 1982 FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE AGAINST APARTHEID, H. E. ALHAJI YUSUFF MAITAMA-SULE, ADDRESSED TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION SPECIAL COMMITTEE AGAINST APARTHEID HAS NOTED WITH GREAT REGRET AND INDIGNATION THAT WMA DECIDED TO READMIT MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH AFRICA (MASA) IGNORING NUMEROUS APPEALS BY MEDICAL ASSOCIATIONS, MEDICAL AND HEALTH PERSONNEL IN SOUTH AFRICA, AND ANTI-APARTHEID GROUPS AS WELL AS SPECIAL COMMITTEE. MASA IS AN INSTITUTION WITHIN APARTHEID SYSTEM, CONDEMNED BY INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AS CRIMINAL. IT HAS VIRTUALLY CONDONED BEHAVIOUR OF DOCTORS INVOLVED IN MURDER OF STEVE BIKO, SOUTH AFRICAN PATRIOT, DESPITE DEMANDS FOR ACTION BY LEADING MEDICAL EXPERTS CONCERNED OVER MEDICAL ETHICS. WMA HAS FURTHER DEFIED INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY BY ADMITTING MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF TRANSKEI. SPECIAL COMMITTEE RECALLS THAT UNITED NATIONS HAS UNANIMOUSLY DENOUNCED SO-CALLED "INDEPENDENCE" OF THIS BANTUSTAN AND CALLEL ON ALL GOVERNMENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO REFRAIN FROM ANY RECOGNITION OF, OR CO-OPERATION WITH IT. SPECIAL COMMITTEE CONSIDERS THAT COLLABORATION WITH APARTHEID REGIME AND INSTITUTIONS BY NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH UNITED NATIONS AND SPECIALIZED AGENCIES IS TOTALLY INADMISSIBLE. IT DRAWS ATTENTION TO UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION 36/172 LADOPTED ON 17 DECEMBER 1981, CALLING UPON ALL NON- GOVEUMNA. ORGANIZATIONS WHICH HAVE NOT YET DONE SO TO DESIST FROM ANY FORM OF COLLABORATION WITH APARTHEID REGIME AND INSTITUTIONS BASED ON RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN SOUTH AFRICA. I TRUST THAT WHO WILL DEMAND THAT WMA CEASE FORTHWITH ITS COLLABORATION WITH APARTHEID AND BANTUSTANS AND DECIDE TO SUSPEND RELATIONS WITH WMA PENDING SUCH ACTION. STATWRZT BY H.E. MR. JAMES VICTOR GBXHO (GHANA) ON BEHALF OF THE SPECIAL COMdrITM AGAINST APARTHEID AT 711P MFFTING OF THE FX CUTIVF B!IARD OF THE UOPLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION IN GOENEVA 26 January 1982 I am grateful to the Executive Board of the World Health Organization for making it possible for the United Nations Special Committee against Apartheid, which I have the honour to represent, to express directly to the Board its total disagreement with the World Medical Association (WMA) in readmitting the Medical Association of South Africa (MASA). The Chairman of the Special Committee, H. E. Alhaji Yusuff Maitama-Sule, would have liked to make the presentation today but for other pressing duties in New York. I have been deputized to speak for the Committee and I crave your indulgence in conveying to you the reaction of the Committee to the extraordinary and regrettable decision of WHA to readmit MASA and admit that of the so-called Transkei. The reaction of the Special Committee to the decision taken by WHA in September 1981 is one of regret and indignation because the Committee, together with a number of medical associations in Africa and elsewhere, had appealed in the name of humanity to those who were then instrumental in orchestrating the readmission of MASA not to do so, but had been ignored. It seems, therefore, that some members of WMA are more concerned with the international image of a country whose policies towards the overwhelming majority of its citizenry have been determined a crime against the conscience and dignity of mankind by the United Nations, than the well-being of those suppressed. The United Nations General Assembly, acting on the recommendations of the Special Committee, has repeatedly called for the total isolation of the racist regime in an attempt to bring international pressure to bear on that regime so as to force it to abandon apartheid. The action of WMA is thus in direct opposition to this goal, since the readmission indirectly restores credibility and international acceptability to a regime that is, after all, the only racial oligarchy in the world. The question of apartheid is at once moral and political. It is political because it is an institutionalized form of racism that denies almost all the fundamental rights that you and I have come to accept as basic to our existence in society. But it is also moral because its supposedly legal practice abuses the dignity and human worth of the black majority in South Africa, and is also incompatible with our civilization and ethics. On both counts it is indefensible because its practice flies in the face of the Charter of the United Nations, threatens international peace and security and violates all the norms outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is the view of the Special Committee against Apartheid therefore, that all individuals and institutions which claim to represent the interest of humanity, not least the medical associations related to United Nations bodies, have an obligation to work towards the complete elimination of apartheid. There is no room for neutrality in the defence of the Charter principles, if we are to avoid human tragedy of the proportions experienced during the Second World War. May I add, Sir, that the international law against racial discrimination and apartheid embodied in several instruments, includes the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid. MASA's corporate conduct and that of the huge bulk of its members, vis-d-vis the crime of apartheid, is one of collusion in and abetment of some of the specific offences listed in article II of this Convention. As far as the perpetration of apartheid is concerned, the Special Committee holds, first and foremost, the racist r~gime in Pretoria responsible. But action cannot be limited to that rigime only for the reason that not only must those who openly or covertly aid and abet the crime of apartheid share in the blame, but also because we are aware that the racist regime has often used individual countries, institutions and persons to further its obnoxious and racist objectives in order to make apartheid more acceptable to the international community.

    Global Peace Operations Review Lessons from Multilateral Envoys GLOBAL PEACE OPERATIONS REVIEW The Global Peace Operations Review is an interactive web-portal presenting in-depth analysis and detailed data on military peacekeeping operations and civilian-led political missions by the United Nations, regional organizations, and ad-hoc coalitions. The web-portal is a product of the New York University Center on International Cooperation (CIC) and a continuation of its long- standing print publications the Annual Review of Global Peace Operations and the Review of Political Missions. Providing the most comprehensive overview of multilateral contributions to peacekeeping, conflict prevention, and post- conflict peacebuilding, the Review aims to initiate and inform discussions on the comparative advantages and appropriateness of different missions, and through constructive analysis to further strengthen existing partnerships necessary for them to succeed. Through the Country & Regional Profile pages, the Review provides background information and regularly updated key developments on peace operations and the contexts in which they operate. The analysis is further enhanced by the provision of detailed data on each of the UN’s peace operations, and headline data on missions fielded by regional organizations and ad hoc missions, which can be accessed in full through the Data & Trends section. Data on non-UN peace operations was compiled by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). For more details, please see our Data guide. The Strategic Summary provides an overview of main developments in mission settings over the past year and presents analysis on trends and the impact these may have on shaping peace operations of the future.

INTRODUCCIÓN 1. El presente informe, que abarca los acontecimientos relacionados con el proceso de reconciliación política, la misión humanitaria, la situación de seguridad y el fortalecimiento institucional en Somalia, se presenta al Consejo de Seguridad de conformidad con el párrafo 2 de la resolución 923 de 31 de mayo de 1994. 2.

LA MISIÓN HUMANITARIA 3. Continúan los progresos hacia el logro de los objetivos de superar la fase de emergencia y pasar a la fase de recuperación, mejorando a tal efecto la situación de los grupos más vulnerables, en particular de las mujeres y los niños, y tratando de encontrar soluciones duraderas al problema de los refugiados y de las personas desplazadas en el interior de país. Pero estos progresos en el frente humanitario siguen siendo sumamente frágiles, habida cuenta de la inseguridad continua y de la falta de una capacidad nacional estructurada para ocuparse eficazmente del bienestar de los sectores vulnerables de población y hacer frente a los desastres naturales o artificiales.

    UNITED NATIONS S Security Council Distr. GENERAL S/1994/839 18 July 1994 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH FURTHER REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON THE UNITED NATIONS OPERATION IN SOMALIA SUBMITTED IN PURSUANCE OF PARAGRAPH 2 OF SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 923 (1994) I. INTRODUCTION 1. The present report, which covers developments relating to the political reconciliation process, the humanitarian mission, the security situation and institution-building in Somalia, is submitted to the Security Council in pursuance of paragraph 2 of resolution 923 of 31 May 1994. 2. My new Special Representative for Somalia, Mr. James Victor Gbeho of Ghana, arrived in Somalia on 1 July 1994. The outgoing Acting Special Representative, Mr. Lansana Kouyate, will stay on in Somalia until the end of July 1994 in order to ensure a smooth hand-over of responsibilities. II. THE HUMANITARIAN MISSION 3. Progress continues to be made towards the objectives of overcoming the emergency requirement and moving into the recovery phase by improving the situation of the most vulnerable, particularly women and children, and finding lasting solutions to the plight of the refugees and the internally displaced persons. But these gains on the humanitarian front remain extremely fragile in the face of continuing insecurity and in the absence of a structured indigenous capacity to deal effectively with the welfare of the vulnerable segments of the population and to cope with natural or man-made disasters. 4. The Division for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM II) has continued to provide services of coordination, information and logistical support to the humanitarian community, while pursuing its efforts to assist in the resettlement of the internally displaced persons and promoting the implementation of small-scale community projects in priority geographical areas and sectors where operational agencies are absent.
