Status of the International Convention on the

Recalling its resolutions 41/103 of 4 December 1986, 42/56 of 30
November 1987, 43/97 of 8 December 1988, 44/69 of 8 December 1989, 45/90 of 14
December 1990, 46/84 of 16 December 1991 and 47/81 of 16 December 1992,
Mindful that the International Convention on the Suppression and
Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid 1/ constitutes an important international
treaty in the field of human rights and serves to implement the ideals of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 2/
Reaffirming its conviction that apartheid is a crime against humanity
and constitutes a total negation of the purposes and principles of the Charter
of the United Nations and a gross violation of human rights, seriously
threatening international peace and security,
Condemning the abhorrent system of apartheid wherever it exists, as well
as the repression it engenders,
Convinced that universal ratification of or accession to the Convention
and the immediate implementation of its provisions will contribute to the
eradication of the crime of apartheid,
