text: they imported from Rhodesia before the application of sanctions. 14. Finally, we would have wished the Security Council, this lofty international body, to call on the United States of America to rescind the senseless law which, by officially authorizing the violation of sanctions, ruins our hopes and its prestige. 1.5. Who will tell us that those proposals were unreason- able? Who can tell us they were excessive? Yet, despite the support of certain delegations to which we pay a tribute for 2 their friendship and foresight, those proposals did not win unanimous support in the Committee. Members will there. fore find them relegated to section IV of the report, where they are set quite apart, either as dangerous elements or-and this is the sincere hope of my delegation-like certain fruits of my country whose acidity takes a bit of getting used to. 16. The African proposals are not, however, in bad company: alternative proposals by the United States, France, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union are there alongside them. And if, in that context, the positions expressed by certain delegations in section V of the report are studied, it cannot be denied that there is in the Committee profound concern regarding the situation pre- vailing in Southern Rhodesia. 17. I am submitting this report rather hapazardly. Leaving sections I and II, which are little more than introductory, we have gone through section IV and have recalled section V. 18. I am sure the Council will not hold it against me when I inform them that I have left until last section III, which was adopted unanimously. It is entitled “Recommendations and suggestions” and comprises paragraphs 10 to 22 of the report. It envisages measures to be taken by Governments, by the Committee or by the Secretary-General. Moreover, the terms of reference frequently overlap.
