text: As important as these changes are, my delegation firmly believes that they do not go far enough to make the process of dismantling apartheid irreversible. For instance, of the five conditions listed in the consensus Declaration for a conducive climate for negotiations, only one, that is the lifting of the ban on political organizations, has been fully met. Indeed, the racist Government has not shown enough readiness to deal with at least two of the fundamental principles in the Declaration, that is, the right to universal equal suffrage under a non-racial voters' roll, and the creation of an economic order that will promote the well-being of all South Africans. EMS/7 A/44/PV.97 16 (Mr. Gambari, Chairman. Special Committee against Apartheid) This brings me to the question of international pressure. In recent times there have been efforts by some Member States to relax sanctions on South Africa on the pretext that President De Klerk should be rewarded for the small progress made so far in that country. That call is being made once again by some countries that had previously argued against the imposition of comprehensive economic sanctions on the spurious grounds that the effects would be felt more by black South Africans. My delegation wishes to reiterate that comprehensive sanctions are indeed effective and when used along with the internal resistance of the liberation movements have proved quite instrumental in the ongoing changes in South Africa. Why, then, should the international community abandon these measures which, in the view of my delegation, are the only credible alternative to violent change and unnecessary bloodshed? My delegation will, in this connection, therefore renew its appeal to the international community to consider the intensification of comprehensive sanctions against the Pretoria régime. Our call may seem out of tune
