A/RES/37/233 [B]

B

1
Reaffirms the direct responsibility of the United Nations for Namibia pending its achievement of genuine selfdetermination and national independence;
2
Reiterates that Security Council resolution 435 ( 1978). in which the Council endorsed the United Nations plan for the independence of Namibia, is the only basis for a peaceful settlement of the question of Namibia and calls for its immediate and unconditional implementation without qualification or modification;
3
Firmly rejects the persistent attempts by the United States of America and South Africa to establish any linkage or parallelism between the independence of Namibia and any extraneous issues, in particular the withdrawal of Cuban forces from Angola, and emphasizes unequivocally that the persistence of such attempts would only retard the decolonization process in Namibia as well as constitute interference in the internal affairs of Angola;
4
Requests the Security Council to exercise its authority for the implementation of its resolution 435 ( 1978) so as to bring about the independence of Namibia without
further delay.
