§ 44. Sir J. Langford-Holtasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why he has not taken steps to move that the Security Council resolution on the arms embargo to South Africa be made mandatory.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsThe Security Council Resolution was not mandatory because the Council did not establish that the situation in South Africa constituted a threat to international peace. Her Majesty's Government do not consider that the situation in South Africa now constitutes such a threat.
