Abstract:At the end of 1967 support for the sanctions campaign against Rhodesia since U.D.I. in 1965 seemed to be slipping away in England. The U.N. 4th Committee in October 1967 overwhelmingly voted to re-enforce the program radically over the opposition of the U.K. and most Western countries. The African states mounted a furious campaign to crush Rhodesia and to impose the U.N.'s will upon all violators, particularly South Africa and Portugal. This has brought the U.N. to a very serious turning point: they reached another impasse between African demands for stronger measures and British-Western views that harsher measures could not bring the desired results. In this article which reviews the political facts around the impasse speculations are made on the implications of the situation and some solutions to the problem are suggested. Footnotes.
