§ LORD BROCKWAYasked Her Majesty's Government:
How the United Kingdom delegation voted at the United Nations General Assembly on the motion that an international convention should be adopted outlawing apartheid; and how many delegations voted in favour, against or abstained.
§ BARONESS TWEEDSMUIR OF BELHELVIEThe United Kingdom delegation voted against General Assembly Resolution 3068 (XXVIII) adopting the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime ofApartheid. The complete voting figures were 91 for, 4 against and 26 abstentions. We deplore Apartheid—and in 1969 ratified the separate Convention on 325WA the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination, which prohibits all the manifestations of apartheid covered by this new Convention.
