CHAIRMAN'S SUMMARY: SOUTH AFRICA

June 20, 1988

We declare our abhorrence of apartheid, which must be replaced through a process of genuine national negotiations by a non-racial democracy.

We expressed our urgent opinion on three particular matters:

(1)All legal options available in South Africa should be used to secure clemency for the Sharpeville Six;

(2)The enactment of legislation designed to deprive anti-apartheid organisations of overseas aid would place severe strain on the relations each of us has South Africa;

(3)We strongly support the current negotiations seeking national reconciliation within Angola, an end to the Angola/Namibia conflict, and early implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 435.
