United Nations Security Council Resolutions...(Crimes against white South Africans)

These are just some of the crimes the U.N. committed against the white people of South Africa.

United Security Council Resolution 181
adopted on August 7 1963, was concerned with an arms build-up by the Republic of South Africa and fears that those arms might be used to further the racial conflict in that country. The Council called upon the government of South Africa to abandon its policy of apartheid and called upon all states to voluntarily cease the sale and shipment of all arms, ammunition and other military equipment to South Africa.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 191
adopted on June 18, 1964, after reiterating its previous requests of the Republic of South Africa and again condemning apartheid the Council decided to establish a Group of Experts made up of representatives of all the then current members of the Council to study the feasibility and effectiveness of measures which could be taken by the Council under the Charter. The Council also invited the Secretary-General to establish education and training programs for South Africans abroad.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 282
adopted on July 23, 1970, concerned by violations of the arms embargo passed against South Africa in resolution 191 the Council reiterated its total opposition to the policies of apartheid and reaffirmed its previous resolutions on the topic. The Council called upon states to strengthen the arms embargo by ceasing the provision of military training to members of the South African armed forces and by taking appropriate action to give effective to the resolution's measures.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 418
passed on 4 November 1977, imposed a mandatory arms embargo against apartheid South Africa. This resolution differed from the earlier Resolution 282, which was only voluntary. The embargo was subsequently tightened and extended by Resolution 591.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 435
Adopted on September 29, 1978, this resolution put forward proposals for a cease-fire and UN-supervised elections in South Africa controlled South-West Africa which ultimately led to the independence of Namibia. Importantly, it established the United Nations Transition Assistance Group (UNTAG) which oversaw the election and the South African withdrawal.
One of the subsequent shortcomings of the resolution was that it did not mention the paramilitary Koevoet force, which came into being after the resolution was passed. This unit, which was considered a stumbling block for free elections in Namibia, was eventually disbanded on October 31, 1989 — the last possible day before the November election.
On December 22, 1988 South Africa agreed to implement the resolution upon its signature of the Tripartite Accord at UN headquarters in New York.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 591
strengthened the mandatory arms embargo against apartheid South Africa imposed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 418 and made it more comprehensive.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1761
The resolution deemed apartheid and the policies enforcing it to be a violation of South Africa's obligations under the UN Charter and a threat to international peace and security. Additionally, the resolution requested Member States to break off diplomatic relations with South Africa, to cease trading with South Africa (arms exports in particular), and to deny passage to South African ships and aircraft.
