Apartheid

EDM number 295 in 1990-91, proposed by Richard Caborn on 15/01/1991.

That this House regrets the decision of the European Council in adopting the Declaration on South Africa on 15th December, especially since it represented a breach in the internationally agreed basis for a settlement in South Africa and was against the expressed wishes of the ANC, the South African partners of the European Community's Special Programme for the Victims of Apartheid, and the European Parliament; recognises the need for the maintenance of international pressure against South Africa until apartheid is completely abolished; re-affirms its opposition to any relaxation of sanctions until there is fundamental and irreversible change leading to a genuine end to apartheid; and therefore calls upon the Council of Ministers to re-affirm the European Community's full support for the United Nations Declaration on South Africa in order to achieve the goal of a united, non-racial and democratic South Africa.

This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs.
