Mr.EBRAHIM: Mr.Chairman, attheoutset mayIonbehalfofthePan Afri~anist Congress express mygratitude toyouforexercising yourdemocratic rightandallowing metomakeabriefstatement onbehalfofthePanAfricanist Congress ofAzania. Ihadnodoubtwhatsover astoyourability todoso,andIam gladthatyouhavesucceeded. Ithinkeveryone inthischamber isawareofthefactthatinternal resistance, including thearmedstruggle andinternational isolation, aswellas theimposition ofselective andvoluntary sanctions, ledtothesituation thatwe arenowwitnessing inapartheid SouthAfrica, namelytheracist regimeattempting tocomeoutasareformer. ButtheUnitedNations, Africa andinparticular the peopleofAzania havealwayssaid,andcontinue tomaintain, thatapartheid cannot bereformed; itmustbetotally andcompletely eradicated. Intherecent months wehavehadtwoimportant Declarations adopted, n~aely theHarareDeclaration andtheUnitedNations consensus resolution, which,asthe Committee isaware, havelaiddowncertain procedures andprinciples according to whichtheinternational community shouldsupport thepeopleinourcountry whoare waging averyprincipled andrelentless struggle toeradicate theapartheid system. Thetwodocuments givethreestagesofdevelopment inthecountry, but beforedealing withthatIwishtoemphasize oneveryimportant fact,namelythat asofnowwhatisbeingdiscussed bothinternally andinternationally isnotthe question ofnegitiations butthecreation ofaconducive climate fornegotiations inapartheid SouthAfrica. Thatisthepresent stage. TheHarareDeclaration andtheUnited Nations resolution havestipulated very categorically thattherearecertain preconditions whichtheregimemustmeetin LRH/9 A/SPC/44/PV.26 29-30 (Mr.Ebrahim, PAC) Lordertocreatetheconducive climate foranegotiated settlement inapartheid SouthAfrica. Thepreconditions thathavebeenlaiddownare:first,the unbanning oftheorganizations insidethecountry; second, therelease ofpolitical prisoners unconditionally; third,thelifting ofthestateofemergency; fourth, thewithdrawal ofthetroops fromthetownship; and,fifth,theunconditional returnofpolitical exiles. Thosearethepreconditions theracistregime was required tomeetinordertocreatetheconducive climate foranegotiated settlement inaparth~id SouthAfrica. WeofthePanAfricanist Congress wouldliketoemphasize herethatgoing through thefivepreconditions itshouldbenotedthatthesefivepreconditions in nowaydealwiththepillars ofapartheid. Theyaremerelythereaction ofthe regimetotheresistance ofthepeopleinthecountry, andtherefore whatthefive preconditions merelystateisthattheregimemustwithdraw itsreaction, andin manyrespects gobacktothepre-21 March1960situation inapartheid SouthAfrica. TheSecretary-General's report, aswellasthereportcompiled bythe monitoring groupofthead.hoccommittee oftheOrganization ofAfrican Unityhave welldocumented thatthepreconditions forclimate laiddownbytheinternational community together withthepeopleinAzaniahavenotyetbeenmet.Ofthefive preconditions, onlyonehasbeenmet,namelytheunbanning oftheorganizations.
