UN CRITICISM OF S.AFRICA ROLE IN NAMIBIA SOFTENED The UN Security Council has expressed its concern at the continuing intimidation and harassment , "particularly by the Koevoet elements in SWAPOL", the South West African Police. However, in the resolution adopted on Tuesday all references blaming South Africa squarely for obstruction were removed or softened after British pressure, say Non-Aligned Movement sources. The original draft resolution spoke of "concern that South Africa has refused to comply" with the provisions of UN resolution 435. The adopted resolution speaks of "concern that all its provisions are not being fully complied with". The draft spoke of obstacles placed in Untag's way "by South Africa's non-compliance with the agreed terms of the implementation plan". The adopted form simply mentioned "obstacles placed in [Untag's} way". The draft called for strict compliance by South Africa with the terms of Resolution 435. The resolution called for "the compliance of all parties concerned, especially South Africa, with the terms". --- Patt Haring | UNITEX : United Nations patth@sci.ccny.cuny.edu | Information patth@ccnysci.BITNET | Transfer Exchange -=- Every child smiles in the same language. -=- -- Patt Haring | UNITEX : United Nations patth@sci.ccny.cuny.edu | Information patth@ccnysci.BITNET | Transfer Exchange -=- Every child smiles in the same language. -=-
