text: datory sanctions, imposed on Southern Rhodesia by resolu- tion 253 (1968), have been adopted unanimously, and many of the subsequent resolutions have found the same degree of unanimity and unity of purpose. 83. The position of the Austrian Government on the hposition of sanctions against Rhodesia has been elabo- rated in a statement I made before the Council on 31 January of this year [1689th meeting]. But despite the strong support this action of the Council has received, we are, almost five years later, still a very long way from the goal we have set ourselves. This appears to be all the more serious as m imposing sanctions the United Nations for the first time has used one of the strongest available means provided for in the Charter, to change a situation that it found both politically and morally intolerable. This is al 8 Ihe more Serious as the rebellious rBgime in Salisbury has continued to pursue policies which Members of this %wIizatioll in their vast majority reject emphatically. 84. Grave aspects of these policies have been mentioned in he course of this debate and they include violations of elcnlentarY human rights and open defiance of the interna- thud community. Ill seeking success for sanctions there- for% we have to examine two questions: firstly, how effectively or how completely are they implemented; and secondly, in what WRY has the implementation of sanctions brc%ht us closer to our political goal: namely, majority Nile in Southern Rhodesia? 85. In focusing attention during this debate on the more technical aspects of sanctions, we must at the same time never overlook the broader political context of the Southern Rhodesian question, which indeed was brought to our attention, in a most dramatic way, by Mrs. Cl&s introduc- tion of the report.
