Progress made in the implementation of the Declaration on Apartheid and its Destructive Consequences in Southern Africa : 2nd report of the Secretary-General (A/45/1052)

Abstract

That report included the findings of the mission dispatched to South Africa by the Secretary-General to obtain firsthand information on the latest developments in the country. Taking careful note of the report of the secretary general, the general assembly adopted by consensus, on 17 September 1990, resolution 44/244 on the policies of apartheid of the government of South Africa. In paragraph 10 of the resolution, the general assembly requested the secretary general to remain actively seized of developments in South Africa and to submit to the forty-fifth session of the general assembly a report on further progress made in the implementation of the declaration. The present report is submitted in compliance with that request. To prepare the report, the Secretariat sought the views of the government, all political parties, movements and organizations, as well as several other interlocutors whom the United Nations team met in South Africa in June 1990. They were requested to transmit by 15 August 1991 their views on the overall situation in South Africa and on any progress achieved in the implementation of the declaration. An analysis, based primarily on those views, is contained in annex I in the present report.
