  1. “We look forward to working closely with South Africa and urge the international community, especially the United Nations and multilateral institutions, to extend all necessary support to South Africa as it returns to its rightful place among the community of nations.”

  2. “The draft resolution now before the members of the Security Council is predicated on the already established united, democratic, non-racial Government of South Africa. The adoption of this draft is important in that the lifting of the mandatory arms embargo will mark a major step towards the return of South Africa to the United Nations. Tanzania believes that the adoption of this draft resolution will further strengthen the resolve of the new Government to redress the legacy of apartheid, embarking on national reconciliation and reconstruction as well as exploring in peace new avenues of constructive links with its neighbours.”

  3. “Inexorable progress, albeit punctuated by violence, followed, as envisaged in the 1989 Declaration on Apartheid and its Destructive Consequences in Southern Africa. It is for this reason that the international community, and the United Nations in_ particular, proceeded to encourage positive change in South Africa through the relaxation of pressure on Pretoria. That was the purpose of the relaxation of United Nations sanctions, with the exception of the arms embargo. 11 This body is convening today to consider the termination of the mandatory arms embargo imposed against South Africa by resolution 418 (1977) of 4 November 1977 and subsequent resolutions 558 (1984) of 13 December 1984 and 591 (1986) of 28 November 1986.”

  4. “It is clear that pressures were an indispensable aspect of the world community's strategy for the elimination of apartheid and the establishment of a united, democratic non-racial South Africa. The people of South Africa and the entire international anti-apartheid movement have every reason to celebrate. Those directly responsible for dealing the most severe blow to apartheid deserve full recognition by the international community. Here we refer in particular to two leading South African personalities - President Nelson Mandela and National Party leader Frederik de Klerk. These two joined forces along with their followers in the pursuit of a peaceful solution. The National Peace Accord, which brought together all those committed to democratic principles in South Africa, became possible largely because of the resolve of the two leaders.”

  5. “This rightly coincides with the commemoration of the thirty-first anniversary of the founding of the OAU. The new democratic South Africa is one of the enviable success stories in recent history. That success did not happen by miracle. It is a result of a protracted struggle, waged primarily by the people of South Africa themselves, which resulted in many of them paying the supreme price either in blood or in interminable incarceration. We also realize fully that these laudable results would not have been possible without the unflinching support of the international community in the form of economic sanctions and other pressures on the apartheid regime. We can now, 32 years since the imposition of the first economic sanctions by the United Nations General Assembly, look back with satisfaction because those efforts were not in vain.”

  6. “Allow me to join the other speakers in expressing my delegation's profound congratulations to the first democratically elected President of South Africa, Mr. Nelson Mandela, and to the entire South African people for having finally achieved their political emancipation from the bondage of apartheid. We also welcome the presence in the Security Council Chamber of Mr. Thabo Mbeki, the first Executive Deputy President in the Government of President Mandela. His statement to the international community further attests to the fact that the principles of a united, democratic and non-racial society are taking root in South Africa. Tanzania further welcomes the admission of South Africa into the membership of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) effective today, 25 May 1994.”
