"apartheid in South Africa
The resolution deemed apartheid and the policies enforcing it to be a violation of South Africa's obligations under the "UN Charter and a threat to international peace and security.
Additionally, the resolution requested Member States to break off diplomatic relations with South Africa, to cease trading with South Africa (arms exports in particular), and to deny passage to South African ships and aircraft.
The resolution also established the "United Nations Special Committee against Apartheid. The committee was originally boycotted by the Western nations, because of their disagreement with the aspects of the resolution calling for the boycott of South Africa. Even so, the committee found allies in the West, such as the British-based "Anti-Apartheid Movement, through which it could work and lay the ground roots for the eventual acceptance by the Western powers of the need to impose "economic sanctions on South Africa to pressure for political changes.
